Two Oceans 2010 Shiraz
88Points

A consistently good-value red, the Two Oceans shiraz brings cherry and black pepper aromas while showing a hint of that smoky, rubbery trait common in some South African reds. It's a full-bodied red that offers a fine balance of black cherry and smoky, meaty notes and hints of raspberry and black pepper on the finish.
