Winery Review: Often referred to as Shiraz Country, the Riebeek Valley is renowned for exceptional Shiraz wines. WildLife Shiraz is a lively rich wine; full-bodied with a subdued smokiness on the nose and a palate of ripe fruit and interesting spice. Well-balanced and smooth, the aftertaste lingers with the exciting flavors of chocolate and spice.

My Review: This Shiraz smelled really dark, like dried cherries and dark chocolate. It didn't really taste like much at first, but then I got some spice and tang, as well as the dark chocolate that I had smelled. I liked this wine after having to taste it a few times to really get the flavors out. 

I did not taste this wine with food.
