Name: Faraway Farms
Variety: Shiraz
Region: ??
Country: South Africa
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95
Winery 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: Similar on the nose to the Tres Ojos Garnacha. Butter popcorn and cigarette smoke on the nose. Not quite as dry as the last one, but still too dry for my taste. Creamy aftertaste with no distinct fruit component. Shiraz (Syrah) is probably my favorite variety, so I was pretty disappointed this one didn't have more of that typical sweet, jammy component to it.
I tasted this on its own without food.
