RATINGS

95James Suckling

Enticing ripe blackberries and plums are framed in subtle, sweet baking-spice complexity and dusted in fine, white-pepper notes. The palate has suave, smooth and concentrated dark berries, presented in a very neatly articulated array of ripe, regal tannins.

95Wine Enthusiast

...freshly squeezed blackberry and currant fruit, cracked pepper, cocoa nibs, graphite and warm stone mineral notes... In the mouth, the fruit continues on a juicy journey, gripped by powerful, fine tannins and interlaced with oodles of dried herbs and spices.

94The Wine Advocate

...wonderful fragrance and elegance. Perfumed notes of violets and cracked pepper lead the way, backed by anise and black cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, with a rich, velvety mouthfeel and tremendous length, echoing with hints of clove, cinnamon and sassafras.

94Vinous / IWC

...impressive wine with a firm and powerful structure...lengthy finish offers classic, pepper spice, violets and fresh blackberries that fill the mouth with scent.

90Wine Spectator

Dense and charming, with chewy tannins. A note of minerality adds a savory edge to the blackberry, blueberry and dried plum flavors. Licorice, tobacco and spice accents linger on the finish.

17.5+ Jancis Robinson

Rich blackberry, velvety, peppery, leather and eucalpyt aromas. Smooth tannins... Finishes with dark chocolate and spice.

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.
