West Cape Howe Wines Great Southern Two Steps Shiraz

Announcing one of West Cape Howe’s finest shirazes yet, a beautifully refined wine of silky tannins and well-defined blackberry fruit. There’s an understated intensity here of lifted violet perfume and luscious black cherry and black plum fruit, with notes of black liquorice that linger long of the finish. It pulls in taut and refined on the finish, with lingering, elegant black pepper notes and a graceful, fine tannin texture, drawn out by well balanced, vibrant acidity. $21 at Discount Wines.
