 More sophisticated than I associate with Shiraz An iphone user Fri May 24 19:32:48 UTC 2013 I'm so sorry...I got a bit greedy and drank most of this the same night I opened it...there was a glass left in the decanter the next day and WOW it really has surprises in store for the patient! I'll be popping this in the basket again next time I buy! :D Ben E. Thu Apr 11 11:38:38 UTC 2013 Not a red drinker but tried it and actually enjoyed it perhaps i could be converted! jan t. Wed Mar 20 17:36:17 UTC 2013 Rich and smooth ... x Asako H. Tue Mar 12 17:36:29 UTC 2013 Big bursts of rounded flavours and plenty of get up and go.. This is a smooth puncher and marvellous Paul B. Tue Mar 12 14:11:16 UTC 2013 loads of fruit and a bit of spice very nice straight out of the bottle, I think I'll be getting a couple more bottles in my next order. Neale G. Fri Mar 08 20:02:25 UTC 2013 It an average SHIRAZ Michael W. Tue Mar 12 16:31:36 UTC 2013 I used a bottle of this to poach some pears - a total extravagance but worth it. It's also rather good straight from the bottle. Peter S. Wed Feb 20 21:34:19 UTC 2013 Gina C. Mon Feb 11 22:32:04 UTC 2013 at Stuart H. Sun Feb 10 10:17:35 UTC 2013 at a friends house Karen E. Tue Dec 25 21:57:04 UTC 2012 There are some fine Shiraz's to be drank on this website and this is no exception. It's silky smooth, plummy and very very drinkable. Whilst not particularly complex, there is a lovely balance to this wine with enough bite and spice to keep it honest. i did not get much oak but this has been in my rack for a while now so it may be fading? Then you get to the part where you realise this bottle is yours for under £7 quid and that's when you get really impressed! I have a few bottles of the Amani Pendana to try and on this evidence will be a very happy bunny. Well done Carmen!!! theodore b. Mon Dec 17 20:19:28 UTC 2012 Bit of a spicy blockbuster this one. Young dark fruits, some black pepper and also slight creaminess on the nose. Certainly a shiraz. The really high acid, high spice and young unripe(ish) fruit was a touch overpowering. I feel its unfair to truly review this wine now as for me it was too young to drink. What I would say is that is has all the attributes for a good few years ageing where it will develop and each element will get used to each other and become one. At the minute it feels like a bunch of individuals fighting for dominance rather than a fluid team recognising each others strengths. So if you buy some, forget about it under the stairs for a few years and I suspect you will be handsomely rewarded. barry g. Sun Nov 25 21:06:26 UTC 2012 Whoa, how the dingly dell do you get so much nose and flavour into a 2011 wine? This stuff is amazing.........in potential. I'm no wine expert but I dont think this is ready yet. It has some unbelievable flavours and aromas but I can get past the acidity and edge. Give this a few more years and you wont be able to but it for a tenner. As I said Im not an expert so check some reviews from those who can spot great wine of the future. I hope they will think the same as me. Score based on drinking now 2.5/5 if it was for potential then it would be full marks. So i will go in the middle. michael k. Sat Nov 24 22:34:50 UTC 2012 Wonderful Natalie D. Sat Nov 24 20:52:35 UTC 2012 Bolognese on the menu this evening and fancied something to wash it down. Grabbed this off the rack, opened, poured and drank..... no time given for it to breathe.... didn't need it. Just a fantastically well balanced mid-weeker with a boat load of red fruits and a nice savoury/spicy touch of pepper. £6.75?? At that price, this wine should always be in your rack. Darren L. Tue Dec 11 19:41:08 UTC 2012 Rich dark adult ribena, yummmmmy, nice long peppery spicy finish thanks carmen will be so getting more of this jenny w. Fri Mar 22 19:10:32 UTC 2013 Nice juicy plummy - but rather alcoholic Adrian S. Sat Oct 27 23:33:36 UTC 2012 Great for the first cold evening of the year. Chris N. Fri Oct 26 16:47:35 UTC 2012 Bit too full on for me but refreshing qualities. Phil R. Sat Nov 24 19:32:00 UTC 2012 at a friends house I think that the Carmen Stevens case was one of the best MarketPlace offers of 2012. The first time I tried this wine, I shared with a friend as a prelude to a boys night out so we didn't really do it justice. Tonight, my wife and I shared a bottle over a "sofa dinner" of bangers and mash and gave ourselves plenty of time to enjoy it. You only have to read Carmen's posts on this site to know that she's passionate about her winemaking that passion really shows in every wine she makes. It's a powerful and quite youthful 14.4% abv Shiraz, so you'd be forgiven for thinking that it might be a bit harsh and give you a great big punch in the mouth. Well, it isn't and it doesn't. The nose is full of blackcurrant with quite powerful chocolate and coffee aromas with spicy hints all competing for attention. The fruit wins (as it probably should) but all the other aromas put up a respectable fight. On the palate, the theme continues with the fruity flavours slowly giving way to a spicy, long and warming finish. The tannins are there, but not so overpowering that you need food. They add character to the wine and balance the fruity slightly sweet feel in the mouth. All that for a mere £6.75 a bottle. A bargain by anyone's standards. OK, it's not as smooth and full bodied as Carmen's Amani Shiraz, but the Amani is a lot more expensive. Carmen, you have done it again. I'm so happy to be one of your Archangels. Gerald F. Sun Feb 10 00:13:34 UTC 2013 Darren O. Wed Jul 18 20:08:52 UTC 2012 Holly M. Thu May 10 12:08:26 UTC 2012 Well worth the wait...an absolute corker of a wine. Hint of liquorice on the finish...lovely. Rachel I. Lovely, juicy and plummy. Full-bodied. Carole G. Fri Apr 27 17:13:21 UTC 2012 at a friends house Malcolm D. Mon Apr 16 22:55:17 UTC 2012 Lovely and smooth, great with anything Cathryn S. Jeff L. Hard to describe, very unpleasant burnt after taste. Tried to give half a heart but app makes you give it at least one! Liam G. Tue Apr 10 20:44:25 UTC 2012 at a friends house Fruity easy-drinking :) Laura K. Fri Apr 06 19:38:43 UTC 2012 at a friends house Alan S. Fri Apr 06 10:58:42 UTC 2012 at a friends house Stunning wine for the price! Glad I bought a few bottles to lay down. Don't miss the 2012 - get it while you can! Charles D. Thu May 30 21:47:34 UTC 2013 Dennis N. John D. John B. Wendy S. I love South African reds and I love shiraz so this was always gonna be a winner for me. It certainly delivers too: It's hot off the presses but still has a good nose of pepper with a vanilla twist and on the palate a good plummy, blackcurrrant hit with the smooth oak and firm tannins giving it structure and a good length to the finish. A very well made wine from a great winemaker and I am sure it will be a big hit on the site. matthew w. Mon Nov 26 19:29:14 UTC 2012 Stephen B. Sat Mar 10 22:52:59 UTC 2012 at a friends house Plenty of fruit, smoke and pepper, will please Shiraz fans. Anonymous Fri Mar 09 10:38:32 UTC 2012 at a friends house claire l. Tim S. Well worth the price. John M. Carmen has a lovely character just full of life and although petite her wines are full on. This 14.0% Shiraz is no exception showing lovely smokey spicy notes to the underlying fruit flavours. A lovely lady that makes lovely wine - deffo! Barry W. Sun Feb 26 23:34:27 UTC 2012 at a friends house Mellow, smooth, delicious! Elizabeth T. Sat Feb 25 21:15:52 UTC 2012 at a friends house Chris P. Jay G. Sat Feb 25 17:03:22 UTC 2012 at a friends house Carmen I must try more of your wines, I absolutely love this one. I can see that some of them are more expensive so I will have to save up my money for what may be something special, like this. Warmed by the log fire, drunk with Red Wine infused Green Lentils and Garlic Bread, I think I've found a little bit of heaven! BRIAN M. Wed Feb 22 20:49:11 UTC 2012 at a friends house barry l.

Sun Jan 15 09:33:51 UTC 2012 at a friends house Carmen's Reserve Shiraz is delicious!! This is quite a powerful Shiraz with a nice spice taste thrown in for good measure. I think that has the capability to age for a few more years too, problem is, my stock won't last that long!! I would recommend that you do decant the wine for a couple of hours before drinking to allow the air to get to it and really release the nose and gets the liquorice taste flowing with the spices. Definitely a keeper!! Bravo Carmen!! Stephen G. Excellent value! David C. Sat Jan 14 23:29:44 UTC 2012 Dark and smooth. Nice for the price David R. Fri Jan 13 21:26:41 UTC 2012 at a friends house Fantastic, fruity Shiraz, excellent value for money and very easy to drink. Simon B. Fri Jan 13 19:51:59 UTC 2012 at a friends house Gareth H.

Fri Jan 13 11:43:58 UTC 2012 Really enjoyed this Shiraz, with chocolate and raspberry nose. To taste I got luscious dark fruit, with a hint of spice and caramel. The pepper kicked in with a tingle on the tongue. It's very drinkable now, but will just get better in time. Carmen, you always deliver! Cindy P. Mon Nov 26 12:49:17 UTC 2012 at a friends house Great smooth detailed wine D H. Thu Jan 12 13:47:22 UTC 2012 at a friends house Matthew s. Wed Jan 11 20:42:46 UTC 2012 South African reds are some of the best value reds on the planet at the moment. If this was from France you could easily tack another £5 to the price. Yes I know it's a little young but it has everything. Good fruit, spicy pepper, vanilla, oak, good acid and firm tannins. I know it seems to be a bit of a fad at the moment to suggest that 'it will be brilliant if you can keep it' but it's true. Thanks Carmen. Nathan M. Mon Nov 26 11:32:07 UTC 2012 Lovely smooth silky velvety Shiraz... Yummy! Nat H. Sun Jan 08 18:15:12 UTC 2012 at a friends house Rich, velvety. Pure gold. A wonderful experience Catherine L.

Fri Dec 16 12:03:32 UTC 2011 really tangy and fully of flavour Richard Y. Thu Dec 15 21:30:06 UTC 2011 at a friends house As with most South African shiraz's (compared to Aussie ones), this has that slightly dry character which I'm not usually the biggest fan of. In this, however, it works! The very smooth fruity flavour means that dry finish isn't overpowering at all. Would buy again - as would hubby... he'd probably give this 4.5/5, but I always get the final say.... ;o) Melanie Y. Thu Dec 15 21:29:59 UTC 2011 This is fabulous example of a shiraz, with its smokey and peppary finish, plummy flavour, it works brilliantly with a nicely seared steak. I am going to have to order more and more of this. mike g. Fri Feb 15 14:19:12 UTC 2013 andrew d. Thu Dec 15 15:42:53 UTC 2011 at a friends house superb so ordered more Richard B.

Mon Dec 05 20:39:35 UTC 2011 at a friends house Spicy! Really enjoyed this on its own and with a beef chilli. Yum! Emma H. Mon Dec 05 17:19:27 UTC 2011 at a friends house Thomas D. Sat Dec 03 12:38:40 UTC 2011 Nice light wine Chaz S. Fri Dec 02 15:51:02 UTC 2011 at a friends house Drank this with friends who opened two other good quality Shiraz before this one. Head and shoulders above the others and we were all impressed. Top quality wine, recommended. Andrew W. For someone that very rarely drinks red, this one is remarkable. Tony L.

Fri Nov 18 18:07:03 UTC 2011 at a friends house i'm not the greatest shiraz fan but found this to be really good especially with red meat and strong flaoured food. at this price represents great value Ken S.

Tue Nov 15 22:45:07 UTC 2011 at a friends house DAWN W. Tue Nov 15 20:30:36 UTC 2011 I'm often wary of "shiraz". It is too frequently over the top with jammy fruit and begs for a little class and tannin to make it work. This is everything I could possibly want: big but still still worthy of savouring. I love that earthy/vegetal touch in a wine and this has it. Brilliant and amazing value. David B. Thu Mar 28 09:27:30 UTC 2013 This was a new one to me and I was impressed. It fell between Arabella and Brewery Hill Shiraz quite nicely. Warm and peppery. Graham P. Sun Nov 13 11:51:02 UTC 2011 Sian D. Sat Nov 12 19:43:13 UTC 2011 at a friends house Shane K.

Sat Oct 22 09:59:10 UTC 2011 at a friends house Another really good wine created for the naked angels. Was really easy drinking and the bottle went down lovely with our meal, so well we had another. Tony S. Fri Oct 21 20:30:13 UTC 2011 at a friends house Not bad but I think this one needs to age a little bit before dipping back into the cellar Stuart B. Fri Oct 21 18:03:47 UTC 2011 at a friends house Powerful yet deceptively smooth. Would seriously recommend. Alex L. Fri Oct 21 17:57:38 UTC 2011 at a friends house Emma G. lovely smooth full bodied red perfect for a winters glass in front of the fire fiona c.

Fri Oct 21 11:33:25 UTC 2011 at a friends house i was a little worried about this being so young (but not worried enough to stop me drinking it!) no worries! deep and rich, dark and mysterious, everything a Shiraz should be and just a babe in arms , bodes well for the future. Lovely stuff jo b. Lots of rich fruit in there, pepper and spice, decanted for a few hours before trying, we really enjoyed this one, just what you would expect from a Good South African Shiraz. This will only get better and better so one to snap up susan f. Sat Nov 24 16:26:17 UTC 2012 at a friends house A lovely drop... :) Alan R. Mon Nov 26 16:41:36 UTC 2012 Very good after 4 or 5 hours breathing time. Has a menthol/eucalyptic edge soft tannins and just a hint of that Shiraz pepper coupled with spicy fruit. Steve B. Fri Oct 21 06:59:23 UTC 2011 at a friends house reminds me of a cool climate Oz shiraz. chris s. Michael W. Thu Oct 20 14:06:33 UTC 2011 at a friends house Excellent wine, full of fruit but still with the slightly peppery shiraz edge. Especially good considering the price. Amazing value. Bill F. Thu Sep 29 07:24:36 UTC 2011 Nice with pasta Lin B. Sun Sep 25 21:56:20 UTC 2011 at Naked Wines HQ This wine is beauitful, so smooth, delicious, fruity and very easy drinking. I really enjoyed it! Rebecca W. Sun Sep 25 14:20:07 UTC 2011 Leon O. Mon Sep 26 09:45:23 UTC 2011 Lovely wine, very dark with strong pepper flavour and hints of liquorice. I personally would decant for about an hour before drinking jeanette m. Sun Sep 25 09:16:50 UTC 2011 Mark M. Fri Jan 27 09:22:40 UTC 2012 at a friends house Joe P.

Fri Sep 23 19:21:15 UTC 2011 Christopher H. Fri Sep 23 19:06:58 UTC 2011 I wanted to like this wine more (the Carmen Chenin Blanc is great) but I think it may just be too young. It was a little thin and light for my tastes - nice fruity taste but I want more from a Shiraz. Going to leave this on the rack for a while and see if it develops more. Laura F.

Fri Sep 23 10:41:26 UTC 2011 Smokey aroma full of fruit and a touch of creosote - you know at once that this is going to be good. This complex wine has so many layers....dark woodland fruits, oaky vanilla, subtle herbs and spices all beautifully balanced and crammed into every yummy mouthful. Carmen your wines are delicious and this is no exception. Kathy P. Sun Nov 25 11:41:22 UTC 2012 Dark red in the glass with a purple rim. Smokey, liquorice, blackcurrant aromas lead to a long deep rich draught. thsi wine will keep if you can restrain yourself from drinking it straight away. Elizabeth G. Thu Sep 22 10:29:26 UTC 2011 at Naked Wines HQ Wine was bought via 'marketplace' so I'm not sure of the exact price. This wine tastes 'dark', there are distinct liquorice, chocolate and coffee tastes throughout this wine; these were quite pronounced to begin with, almost to the extent that they smothered the wine. This seemed to mellow out after the bottle was left open for a few hours. William S. Tue Sep 20 12:54:07 UTC 2011 at Naked Wines HQ Another bottle of this disappeared last night, new world shiraz just doesn't get better at this price! geoff f. Wed Mar 06 18:42:58 UTC 2013 Just opened this half an hour ago, so possibly a bit hasty with my review, but maaaaan this is good! Chocolate, coffee, rich red late-summer fruits, gentle tannins. The nose is spectacular and the finish is awesomely long and gentle. A delight! And it will probably improve over the next hour or so... Glyn E.
