Winemaker’s Notes:
This syrah has a bright bouquet of sweet tobacco with hints of green pepper. Rich flavours of ripe berries, graced with well structured tannins, are so delightful on the palate. A great match with brie cheeses, grilled earthy vegetables and grilled chicken or pork.

This is a excellent syrah selling at a fantastic price. I really don’t think you will find a better local syrah at this price.
Let’s walk through a tasting of this wine. Open a bottle, pour a glass and follow along.
Take your time and enjoy this wine’s bouquet. It has so many wonderful things going on. Notes of plums, earth, tobacco and leather make this an excellent sniffer.
While your at it, swirl the wine in your glass and notice how this wine seems to just hang to the side of the glass. This is called a wine’s tears or legs. Excellent wine tears on this wine.
If you have been able to resist temptation go ahead and taste this wine now. Just incredible isn’t it?
A wonderful balance that echoes the nose. Starts with some plums, followed by the tobacco, leather and green peppers integrated with some tannins and followed by a nice smooth finish.
Priced at $15 this one should fly off the shelf. I don’t do this too often, but just ordered a case of this wine.
I tried this wine at the wine festival on the weekend. I was not aware they were making a Syrah but quite happy to find out they did. I was even more ecstatic when I heard the price was only $15 at the winery. Heres a wine that I didn’t mind paying the festival price for.
This wine as Gary has described is truly remarkable. On the palate this wine fills your senses with ripe field berries and sweet tobacco as the winemaker indicates. The weight of the wine is just right, not overly oaked very smooth tannins. I will make my way over there right away before its all gone.
Another great sipper coming out of this winery – well done.
I was at the wine festival too. We enjoyed this wine!!!
It’s been a little over a year since I first review this wine. It’s October, 2010 and I have selected this wine as the “Wine of the Month”.
So how is this wine a year later?
Still excellent and showing no signs of being past it’s prime.
Screams dark cherry, black pepper spices along with softening tannins and a punch of acidity working together in balance.
Still good stuff and now priced at under $13 ($12.95) make this an excelllent value.
