This was surprisingly good. Savory and meaty and leather notes on the nose and more on the palate, as well as dark fruit. Cooler climate syrah - what great balance with an energetic minerality and acidity on the finish. Neither big nor particularly long, but I wish I had another couple of bottles. What a far cry from warm climate California syrah or Aussie Shiraz!

Pop and pour. Rustic earhy nose; black pepper and spice. Maybe a hint of brett. A rustic and earthy wine with some fruit poking through. Lacking elegance.

This is the Syrah that i love. Great spice. Black pepper. Not especially complex, but still very tasty. Will try to get more. Paired with grilled bratwurst. Nice

Wow! Bought this after discussion with trusted person at shop. Delicious Syrah that tasted like a baby Côte Rotie or Hermitage. Impressed!
