Cocoa, smoked meat, dried fruit on the nose. Very soft tannins and almost no acidity, hinting that this bottle may be past its prime. Medium to full body, pleasantly long finish. Overall an interesting and unforgettable wine. Gives me hope for those cool-region Syrahs!

By the looks of many of the reviews, I liked this more than most. It's full-bodied with obvious blueberry and pepper. Very smooth with a nice mouth feel. Slight salinity to it, but nothing overpowering. This wine lingers effortlessly in a medium length finish. When visiting the winery I liked this best, & waited until I got home to purchase since this one is sold near me. I'd buy it again, & consider it one of the better "non-Aussie Shiraz", Syrahs (I'm a fan of the Barossa Valley Shiraz). 88-89.

apparence: Rouge bleuté et dense Au nez: fruit noir et mure légèrement poivré, bois subtil vanillé En bouche: Une tenue bien au centre de la bouche, le bonbon au raisin, très peu de tanin ( ca lui coute un point) et manque d'acidité. Possible qu'il soit dépassé... Néanmoins un vin agréable pour le prix.

A nice, but not great, Syrah. Dark berries, chocolate, pepper. Fairly well balanced, but a little thin on the finish. Very drinkable.
