What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

A dark ruby red colour with a peppery, spicy nose, typical of the variety. Follows through with spicy fruit on the palate, good balance and length.

Color: Deep vibrant red. Aroma: Combination of white pepper, vanilla and mixed spices. Palate: Medium to full bodied. Well integrated with ripe fruit and a complex finish. Cellaring: Will drink well now until 2008. Has nice focus, with blackberry and dark cherry fruit woven with mineral and vanilla notes. The fine, supple finish fleshes out nicely, with a lovely mouthfeel. Wine Spectator 90 Points
