  Definitely cool climate syrah, acidic, and peppery, but not my style. I don't like the mouth feel, a bit round. I think the acidity overwhelms for me.

  Still a little high toned, but the acidity has definitely calmed down from the last bottle two or so years ago. This is a true representation of Syrah with all the meaty, animalistic characteristics. I quite enjoyed it again.

  I'm going to break with the crowd to date and say this was a really fabulous cool-climate Syrah. Distinct white pepper and spicy elements, combined with blue fruits a stout structure and a delicious finish. If the finish had been a bit longer, it would merit an even higher score.

  Six nations tasting (49 King Street Wharf): Peppery and perfumed. A little short on the palate though

  Very enjoyable cool climate Syrah. High acid, maybe a bit too high.
