awesome! nice, full and peppery...
Daniel Poudrier rated this wine as 93/100
Holly Bruns rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

An enticing mélange of cherry and dark berry fruit fruit, earth, loads of spice and a little something sweet. The long, fruity finish is silky with some enlivening texture. Start drinking it and you'll just want more.
Aged 18 months in 70% new French oak and 25% new American oak.
An Old World-styled Syrah with New World confidence! From a rich, purple colour in the glass to stewed blackberries, blueberries, black cherries and plums on both the nose and the palate, it’s the spiced elements (many coming from the combination of French and American oak) that give so much character and depth to the wine. Cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, mace and fresh-cracked-peppercorn dust the dark berry fruit perfectly, all held together with well-integrated oak.
