The Alvi's Drift Shiraz has a medium color with an attractive garnet hue. The wine is elegant and nicely balanced. The aromas on the nose are a subtle blend of white pepper and red berries with a hint of vanilla and chocolate. The flavors are well integrated with nutty oak characters. The palate is balanced with surprising length and fullness. The oak, fruit, and tannins are beautifully integrated, giving the wine a subtlety and elegance rarely found in New World wines.
Ideal with poultry, especially roast or barbecued chicken.
