The nose opens on subtle notes of black fruit such as blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by delicate touches of oak and black pepper. The round and full attack displays the expressive black fruit notes found on the nose.
The tannic structure typical of Syrah lends attractive body and heft to the mid palate, sustained by elegant notes of black and grey pepper, followed by a beautifully long finish distinguished by a remarkable return of fruit flavors and refined toasted notes.
91pts James Suckling- Lots of violet extract and some baked purple fruit with some fine spice and oyster sauce. Full-bodied, flavorful, and juicy on the palate with very fine-grained tannins. Just a bit baked.
90pts Wine Spectator- Compact and savory, this version slowly reveals dusky rose petal and mineral accents built on a structured core of black cherry and plum. Finishes with precise tannins and nice length. Best after 2026. 12,000 cases made, 1,289 cases imported.
