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: The last Syrah we tried was very strange and pungent, tasted like it was old. This one was totally different. The smell was musty, but in a good way and mixed with berry undertones. The whole wine was really nice and smooth. The initial flavor was the fruity, berry flavors and then seamlessly turned into a slightly peppery finish. The whole transition was so smooth and good that I bought a bottle.
