Earthy, leathery and peppery scents on this Swartland offering will appeal to fans of a more grounded Shiraz, and the flavors follow suit. Berry and tobacco layers are folded into smooth tannins, but the wine has structure. It’s a little on the rustic side, though with a good barbecue the edge might be evened out.——S.K.(6/1/2007)—— 84
