The first impression of game and cured meat are followed closely by notes of black plum and berry fruit aromas, which quickly take over the bouquet. Accents of cigar box spice and dark chocolate unfold in the mouth and linger, adding depth to the finish.——L.B.(3/1/2012)—— 88

Soft, unfolding and approachable, this Syrah starts with aromas of cocoa, cinnamon and smoke, followed by red berries, pepper and cherry. A spicy finish gives it extra flair. A versatile wine with good South African character.——S.K.(6/1/2010)—— 87
