It’s a dark wine, almost inky, with a fantastically funky nose. The dark fruit sort of waves as it goes by, while the smell of meat just stands there and stares at you. There is a hint of pepper, a dash of mint, but that smoky, meaty smell really dominates. On the palate, a dark, brooding plum and blackberry combination put up a little more of a fight against the earthy, meaty flavors. It’s really a great tasting wine.

Because when someone offers you Moroccon Syrah, you gotta try it. As expected, different than a French or Cali Syrah. Ripe with a hint of grappa/raisin, but pretty interesting and certainly worth exploring. It was also cool trying their Cab blend.

Really well made and promising. A perfect introduction for a skeptic of African wine.
