Vintage Cellar 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: This had a very spicy smell to it. The smell also gave off a woodsy/earthy feel to me. It tasted very peppery, which unfortunately is not my type of wine.
I tasted this wine on it's own without food.
