Medium-bodied Syrah
Review by Charl ENGELA (Posted on 06/11/2014)

Quality Price Typical of warm-climate reds, not as full-bodied as some Syrah (which can be an advantage). Deep plum colour, blackberry nose; rich prunes in the mouth, but with a delicate feel; a dusky aftertaste reminiscent of good Pinotage, but not unpleasant. Good for grilled meats and hard cheeses.
