Visual Review

The Mist of Sahyadri Shiraz makes a bold first impression. Not too deep or opaque, it has a warm garnet hue that draws you in with the promise of something rich and intriguing. The color is intense, just as it should be, offering that soft glow typical of a well-made red. Visually, it’s everything you’d want from a wine that wants to be taken seriously.

Aroma Review

The aromas are where it gets even more promising. There’s a generous and full-bodied bouquet rising from the glass : layers of vanilla from wood aging, a sprinkle of black pepper that screams Shiraz, and just enough black cherry to keep things lively. It’s not an explosion of variety, but the nose is solid, expressive, and very well put together. No complaints on that front.

Taste Review

It starts well enough: medium body, medium acidity, and a balanced warmth in the alcohol. Tannins are on the lighter side, which makes it a little too gentle for those expecting a bolder grip, but that’s forgivable. There’s a sweetness that nudges the wine off-balance, and you start to wish it would just not be so persistent.
Flavor intensity holds up strong, and the finish is moderate yet pleasant. Complexity hovers in the middle, some nuance, but not enough to keep you thinking between sips. Still, it’s somewhat enjoyable, and the wine gives off the sense that it might evolve into something more refined with a bit of time. The potential is there, though currently, it leans more toward “good effort” than “great reward.” Unfortunately, the sweetness won’t go away with time…

It is a good wine. Just go in knowing it leans slightly sweet, and do not expect perfect balance. If you are after an easygoing Shiraz with a hint of ambition, this might work. Especially if you chill your expectations slightly along with the bottle.
