Expert Reviews

Decanter Magazine: Awarded 96 points, noting the wine's baked plum, cream, and vanilla aromas with an overtone of citrus. The palate is alive with white pepper spiciness, dense with ripe plum and red cherry, and features fine-grained tannins.

Wine Advocate: Also awarded 96 points, highlighting aromas of deli meat, exotic spice, graphite, black tea leaves, and succulent red fruits. The wine is described as slinky, supple, and balanced, shaped by ductile, tissue-paper tannins.

James Suckling: Rated the wine 94 points, describing a savory nose of charred rosemary, black pepper, crushed plums, and coffee bean. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with velvety tannins, offering meaty and grilled herbal complexity.

Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance: The wine exhibits a deep magenta hue, indicating its concentration and depth.

Aroma: On the nose, it presents a bouquet of fresh raspberry, black cherry syrup, spiced plums, and oriental peonies, creating an immediately floral impression.

Palate: The palate is rich and rounded, offering flavors of ripe plum and red cherry, complemented by white pepper spiciness. The texture is fine-grained, with tannins described as "starched velvet"—rich, smooth, and crunchy.

Finish: The wine concludes with a tightly structured finish, lifted by fresh acidity that enhances its length and balance.

Food Pairing: This Syrah pairs superbly with grilled fare, making it an excellent match for dishes such as lamb chops, beef steaks, and venison
