The shy but marketing-savvy Charles Back has long had a knack for finding a beckoning niche and exploiting it, which is not to say that his best wines are especially commercial in style.Far from it:there are a number of serious and ageworthy wines in the Fairview line-up, and all of them show distinct personalities.Back, along with his winemaker Anthony de Jager, produces syrah-based wines in both Old World and New World styles.But, he explains, "the natural South African style is New World, but more restrained, precise and food-friendly than most Australian shirazes, for example."(Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL)
