Reviews for 2008 Vintage
2008 The Wolftrap Syrah Mourvedre Viognier Franschock, South Africa (14.5%) - Nose: smell a slight must developing into a strong coffee flavor upon opening up, Taste: “Ahh, now that’s a Syrah!” - Lamarr, mild pepperiness, light to medium tannins, medium finish
Lamarr: A-, very low A- (nice Syrah, pleasure to drink, started out of the gate fast, yet began to lose its qualities after about 40 minutes, still good though)
Hector: B+, but an 89.9 (Fast out of the gates, turns espresso-y after an hour, still very good)
Alastor: A-
Recommended from my "Wine Expert" at World Market!! It is spicey for sure, but with a slice of really good cheddar, tastes smooth and silky..slightly acidic, but mellows after 15 mins or so..Will buy it again! Great Price Point as well!
For the price, a very nice bottle. Smokey BBQ sauce on the nose and very smooth on the palate. A great Wednesday wine. Works with chorizo, pizza, and a good puttanesca.
I consider this wine to be a work in progress.The nose is a wrestling match,with dark fruit pinned to the mat by strong earthy mineral aromas.The palate experience displays dark unripe smokey fruit that is chaperone by earth laden red clay stone,which decant subtle burst of cigar ashe notes ,that prolong the finish! Has potential,but full of risk,high risk can yield big rewards!
