The stone cold nuts. Matchless Syrah grapes handpicked from preeminent small lots on the Osoyoos Bench. 90% free run. Minimally pressed. Respectfully untouched by mechanical pumps. Casked in French and American oak for 18 months. Savour now, or cellar up to 10 years.
John Schreiner: "This is a muscular, brooding red, beginning with gamy aromas of deli meats. On the palate, there are flavours of plum and prune with a nice peppery accent. The wine is full-bodied and concentrated, but it presents its power elegantly."
Intense ruby-coloured core with pinkish rim; clean nose with intense, rich and ripe aroma of black fruit. Herbaceous notes of green pepper, rosemary, and sage. Aroma develops to espresso, caramel and chorizo. Full body provides an intense mouth feel. Superbly balanced, with moderate to high acid levels. High, supple tannin. Long, satisfying finish. 14.2% alcohol.
