This is the Pinot Noir from 2013. The only vintage. The Pinot vines have been ripped out. They planted Chardonnay after purchasing this new plot. 2 barrels, 50 cases. Then bye bye forever. PS, I am not drinking this bottle. Just staring at it lovingly, with grand amazement and wonder. — 8 years ago
A totally complete wine, Sijnn’s flagship red from the South African outpost of Malgas, is an incredibly drinkable wine in 2016 that shares many a semblance with a good quality Saint Joseph.
Syrah dominant, with Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Mourvèdre and a nominal amount of Cabernet Sauvignon completing the unusual blend, it’s expressive from opening and benefits from a two hour decant. Dark, brooding and complex, with an iron core and some bright cherry acidity, it’s a virile wine with good length and a great accompaniment to beef. I’m lucky to have two more bottles and will excitedly try another in a few years’ time.
PS. Sorry for the unwarranted pic of my food but this was last week and I’ve since ditched the bottle. — 2 years ago
Only reason not 10 is because it needs just a little more age. Balance, complexity, and notes I’ll never forget... the most lovely wine I’ve had in a long long time. Whoa...
Stunning blue fruit that I’ll never forget, wet stone, amazing sweet but slightly green floral notes, oak that needs more time to age - a little “sawdust”. Med/light body - lighter than expected and I liked it - and lighter in color. 14.5% alcohol but tastes a little lower than that.

Upping a point since last tasted 2 years ago.
Nose is blackberries, currant, and light forest floor with floral notes. Black cherry and black berry fruit. Medium + acidity and body. Mouth coating with amazing mouthfeel. The tannins are smooth and well integrated but still leave the lips stuck to teeth.
It’s such a pretty wine. @David T I said I’d wait 10 years and only made it two. I cheated and bought more. I’m not sorry 😜. I do think it’s alot more approachable than it was two years ago tho. Would be interested in your thoughts now. PS when in MN look me up. Have a bottle with your name on it! — 2 years ago
This had me smiling from ear to ear and was, to me, as perfect as a wine could be. Everything was in harmony and such a great middle road between old and new world. This wine is so distinct I think I could pick it out blind. Dark fruit just dominates the nose - blueberry jam and boysenberry. The palate is smooth and lush. While the nose has jam, the palate is not extracted or sweet. It just is a perfect orchestra in a glass. I know that sounds corny but it's true. This wine is so beautiful and has a long life ahead of it. I've been fortunate to have many "100 pointers" and some have been great, but this is my first perfect 10 for me on Delectable. My better half argues 9.8 but I'm the one on this app so my call!! And, PS, it paired perfectly with Diana Ross live - this wine is "The Boss." — 7 years ago
