Here's a wild and free shiraz from Fram wines, not experimental, but playing on the edge, and all the more...
Fram brings Swartland shiraz to the forefront of fruit substance with swarthy swings and sure fire tart edging. No...

Mainly Shiraz w/ 5% Grenache & 5% Mourvèdre. Medium-high intensity nose offers lovely meaty, black & blue fruit, blackberry, black pepper spice, anise, clove & gentle wood spice aromas rising out of the glass. On the medium-full bodied, structured palate, it has good fruit concentration and is slightly warming with delicious dark berry, blackberry, black pepper spice, meaty, earthy & licorice flavours. Slightly tangy on mid-palate, w/ fresh, balanced acidity, and refined, slightly grippy tannins. Savoury, earthy, and cocoa notes linger on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Dec/2021. Score: 90+ pts
