The 2014 Syrah was harvested during the first half of October with only 14% alcohol, one degree less than the previous year. It fermented in concrete and oak vats with selected yeasts and matured in barriques for one year. There are some varietal notes, smoky bacon, some cereals and a touch of lavender. The palate felt quite balanced, with a soft, approachable texture. It could do with a little more freshness. 12,670 bottles were filled in June 2016.

The 2013 Syrah was harvested in October and the grapes delivered 15.1% alcohol after fermenting in cement vats, malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by one year in oak. It has a nose of dry herbs, spices and berries, where it's not easy to identify the variety. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with it, the palate is soft and velvety with juicy fruit and clean flavors. It has lowish acidity. 25,000 bottles produced.

Cropped from a warm and dry vintage, the 2012 Syrah was harvested on September 21-22 at 15% alcohol. After a cold soak the grapes fermented in a combination of oak and cement vats and aged one year in used and 20% new French oak barrels. The wine is bright purple with quite an intense nose of smoky bacon aromas, hints of violets and asphalt, well-integrated wood in the background and the fruit taking the lead. The palate is medium-bodied with abundant grainy tannins, moderate acidity and medium length. A good Syrah. 20,000 bottles produced.
