...lovely aromas of roasted red-black fruit, black olives, espresso, cola and rosemary. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a lavish attack, an expressive core of succulent fruit and a long, sapid finish. Complex and expressive.
... Rocking notes of smoked herbs, cigar tobacco, ground pepper, and meaty blackberry fruit give way to a medium to full-bodied Syrah that has the purity and elegance that’s fast becoming the hallmark of this estate.
Very attractive, complex syrah spice and fragrance with meaty nuances and a core of red plums and blackberries. The palate has a smooth, silky and layered feel with a neat build of ripe fruit that is nicely webbed in fine, supportive tannin.

Quite saline, befitting its elevated pH, but with its plush, deep fruit it's also very easy to drink. And the fine-grained tannins will not stand in the way of early enjoyment...
Grilled and fresh asparagus, soot, wet rock, black pepper, black olive brine and herb aromas lead to light, elegantly styled fruit and savory flavors that bring a sense of delicacy. It's a very pretty interpretation of this site—the winery's most elegant to date.
