KWV Reserve Collection Western Cape Shiraz 2010 91+ Points

KWV Wines

Medium clear, bright, ruby red with purple rim.

The nose is akin to an Hermitage with New World fruit, clean, high intensity, ripe raspberries, cherries, delicately ripe plums, no sign of over ripeness, complex earthy black olives note, excellent purity of fruit, hints of graphite, spicy core with toasty and slight charry character.

Dry with medium plus acidity, vibrant, moderate alcohol of only 13.5% abv, savoury texture, violets, rosemary, herbal freshness, precise, very good ripeness for a Shiraz, elegant, long and persistent.

Now until 2019
