Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"This instantly approachable Syrah impresses with its dense, dark-red colour that leads to a bright and immediately inviting nose, exhibiting the classic cool-climate varietal spice and dark berry fruit aromas. A vibrant and energetic Syrah, complex, balanced and seamless on the palate with fine structure and texture, and finishes with a firm yet gentle tannin presence in the finish."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"There’s power and energy in the bouquet, dark berries and baked mushroom, fresh black currant and moments of wild red berries, some peppery spice undertones and a mild baked spice of oak with whispers of clove and vanilla. Delicious on the palate, dry, taut, youthful and warm. Flavours of wild dark berries, spice and earth qualities show first then a mix of fine and new coarse silk tannins along with a back bone of acidity complete the mouthfeel coating palate with spice and flavour, texture and some oak. Well made, youthful, a lovely long dry finish with best drinking from 2024 through 2030+."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"An awesome rendition of the variety, showing blackberry, sweet plum, tar, violet and almond characters, followed by a concentrated palate that's plump and richly textured. Wonderfully rounded and supple with finely infused tannins, finishing immensely long and engaging. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2035."
