Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Produced from 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier, Black Market Wine Company Syrah MMXVIII is dry, medium-bodied unfined and unfiltered. Look for baked cherry pie, earthy, meaty, savoury herb, cinnamon, spicy pepper and subtle vanilla flavours wrapped up in rich, grippy tannins. Good now, better if cellared for three more years to marry the wine’s flavours and mellow the tannins.

Produced in the classic Northern Rhone style, the wine is a co-fermentation of 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier. Grapes are de-stemmed, lightly crushed and undergo a two-day cold soak. After a slow and warm fermentation, the wine was left to macerate another 18 days to extract more phenolics from the skins. Aged 18 months in French (30% new) and American oak barrels. Decant one hour prior to pouring with a gourmet burger topped with blue cheese. So good!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
