Tasting - Black Opal Shiraz

The Vintage Cellar, 2/7/13

Variety:  100% Shiraz  
Region:   Barossa Valley

Year:  2011

Public Review:  "The Black Opal wines are sourced from vineyards found in South Australia along the Limestone Coast, at Langhorne Creek and in the infamous Barossa Valley.  Black Opal Shiraz is rich red in the glass.  Aromas of blackberry, pepper and spice followed with rich plum flavors round out the palate.  Soft tannins give structure to the fruit-driven palate."    
My Review:  Warm, caramel nose. So smooth!  It's so fruity it's almost sweet, but actually is dry in the mouth.  Very good!      
With food?:  No
