Indaba Shiraz

This is a really interesting wine, because the sort of sharp/zippy taste that usually comes from tannin in a shiraz doesn't come from tannin here - it comes from the fruit itself. Instead of being tannic, the tang comes more from the part of raspberry flavour that is present in raspberries, but not in Schwepp's Raspberry Gingerale (do they even still make it?) I find it much preferable to most shirazes for that very reason, although carnivores may not agree.
