This is my first Indian wine. Sula 2012 Shiraz from Nashik Vintners Pvt in Maharashtra, India. The bouquet is absolutely Indian spice candy, the kind you get when you leave the Indian restaurant in the bowl on the counter at the exit door! The color is dark. The legs are long and moderately slow. It is 13.5 % alc. the initial palate has hints of plum and dark berries. There is a raspberry jam beginning. The finish is moderately dry with a beautiful smokey aftertaste. There is pepper and chocolate as well in the finish! — 9 years ago

This lovely wine has beautifully balanced, though rich, white fruit (white peach, nectarine) and white flower delicate floral overtones on a rich, intriguingly viscous core. This is an intriguing wine in many ways: (1) because it is far more like a rich, fruity, balanced (and blessedly not grotesquely over oaked as some competitors are) rounded Chardonnay than a Sauvignon Blanc, though the Sauvignon Blanc varietal element rests in the background, giving the wine a structure many Chardonnays lack, (2) this wine is produced in India, where one battles to find quality in the spread from ubiquitous Sula and similar wines, to some quite pretentious, over oaked, over extracted, Parkerized wines that are as undrinkable as their counterparts elsewhere, (3) the alcohol content is moderate, and (4) there is a consistency of profile from the moderately rich nose through the viscous mouthfeel through the relatively long, smooth finish. Bravo! — 10 years ago
