Lion's Whisker Syrah Blend

Really nicely engaging balanced and great food wine. A South African treasure. I will so buy this again. A nice treat

First tried @Fablewines with @CharlesBanks3 in Santa Barbara. Going old school with the label. Delicious.

Today I’m missing the ability to travel to far-flung places or to a local watering hole for that matter.

Intense aromas of dark roast espresso coffee tannins, sandalwood, berries, and cinnamon spice.

Upfront cinnamon and black pepper spice kick, medium body and acidity. Smooth operator with a cool whisper of raspberries and the like culminating in a pleasant clove afterglow.

This is different in a good way. Complex and surprising. Easy drinking, too. Could think of many ways to pair this culinarily and seasonally. From baked lamb to popcorn, to even some rich creamy gelato flavors.

Nice Syrah/Mourvèdre blend. Black fruit and roasted meats. Finish falls off fairly quick, but tasty!

Smells better than it tastes, but only because the flavor is more mild than the scent. I like this one.

Nothing on the front. No nose.

Actually their, "Jackel Bird" white blend. Pretty nice pic nic'y' kind of 11th ine. Cool blend of 54% Chenin Blanc, 17% Roussanne, 13% Grenache Blac, 10% Chardonnay, 5% Viognier, 1% Claret Blanche. BUT it was, at first, the story of the Jackal Bird that sold me on it. Very Neat!
