Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits with gamey spice. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and dried cherry with smoky oak and black pepper spice. Medium+ finish, fine tannins ending with spicy character. Nice value!

Delicious black fruit and bacon, great acid.

High acidity Syrah from Casablanca Valley, freshness and black fruit, not as good as other wines of this producer...

Juicy and meaty, but still light. Good with jerk chicken and barbecue
