Tasting - Faraway Farms Shiraz

Name: Faraway Farms Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz

Region: Not Listed
Country: South Africa
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95
Wine critic review: Fresh, modern style, with lots of plum pudding, sweet chocolate, mocha, blackberry and boysenberry flavors supported by round, sweet tannins and toast.

My review: The mocha and chocolate tastes in this wine were a little too much for me as I typically prefer fruitier wines. I did pick up on some blackberry but it was overpowered by the other flavors. Very tannic and smooth. I did not pair this wine with food but because of the severity of the chocolate and mocha I think it would obviously be paired great with chocolate.
