Critics Ratings
‘Ripe. Cherry blossom, cherry fruit, gentle warm spices. Cinnamon. Has heart. Really interesting nuttiness. Like praline! White pepper. Sweet bark. Moroccan leather, chai tea. I love this. Marches to the beat of its own drum. Tiny bit of milk chocolate, in the best way. The tannins nip in to the waist like a well-fitting wide belt. This has sass and class.’ - Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2021).
‘ Intense aromas of fruit cake spice, lifted red cherry, wild strawberry and church incense mingle harmoniously on the nose of this bright and well-balanced Syrah. The palate follows suit, with a powerful presence though still ultimately restrained and elegant thanks to a bold structure of fine tannins, ample peppery spice and ethereal herbal and tea-like inflections that lend depth and an earthy grounding throughout. An Old World iron and olive accent grace the cherry-fruit-flavored finish’. - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100
