RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

...well-defined bouquet with dark berry fruit, blackcurrant, white pepper and a touch of cloves...palate is structured with crisp acidity, vibrant blackberry and mulberry fruit... Very fine.

90Wine Spectator

Lively, with a streak of white pepper offsetting the core of raspberry and boysenberry fruit. The racy-edged finish has an alluring graphite and violet profile. Very solid.

90+ Stephen Tanzer

Perfumed nose offers scents of sour cherry, clove, dried herbs, white pepper, flowers, rust and meat...flavors of cherry, cranberry, graphite and wintergreen. Finishes persistent and firm but with very fine-grained tannins.

90Wine Enthusiast

Wild notes of game and curing spice add depth to the raspberry and cherry fruit core... Creamy and smoothly textured, the clean fruit flavors are lifted by bright acidity and transition seamlessly into spicy notes of white pepper and whole baking spice on the finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Very appetising and racy on the nose. Light and savoury. Some leather and even slightly lean. Clean and dry. Very fresh but not mean.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
