Vintage Cellar's 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:
The nose left me with a berry-feel which was covered by a peppery-smokeyness. A bit sour, blackberry flavor on the taste. Medium-high acidity and a dry finish. Overall, I did appreciate this wine and it is very distinct. Not balanced but a great change of pace, fruity wine. Would go well and enhance salads and grilled food.
Tasted without food.
