Amani Forest Myers Shiraz 2005

Name: Amani Forest Myers Shiraz 2005
Brand: Amani
SKU: 19939

The Shiraz 2005 shows lots of pepper spiciness, with tobacco, leather and full ripe blackberry flavours. The palate is smooth and fleshy with ripe tannins. The wine has great concentration and is well balanced. The back palate shows a fusion of tobacco and black current flavours.

Beef wellington comes to mind with this wine! This full bodied shiraz will go well with veal marsala (not to sweet on the marsala), steak (preferably fillet) au poive, rack of lamb, veal shank, or lasagna.
