About this Item

Syrah, 2006
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

A unique collaboration between two prestigious family owned estates | Rust en Vrede (Stellenbosch) and Silver Oak (Napa - California)

Critics Ratings

‘SA/US joint venture. Confident New World richness in 06, creamy dark fruit, sweet spice, well matched by polished tannins, give focus for future development but already deliciously accessible. Dash viognier New oak 18 months, equal French/American oak. Golds at TWS, Concours Mondial.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4*

‘Packed with densely wound braised fig, dark licorice, espresso and currant preserve notes that are held back for now by notes of bittersweet cocoa and dark toast. The long, graphite- and white pepper-filled finish shows the early hints of definition that should emerge fully with some moderate cellaring.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2009)
