Surprisingly good. Nice blend with Syrah dominance. Enjoying with white cheddar and Sanoma Carmody cheese.

Unctuous, jammy red blend, incredible mouthfeel, light tannins. Nose is all strawberry jam and brandied cherries, blackcurrants and a strawberry liquorice in the mouth and a short, clipped finish where the liquorice flavours are the last to fade. It's really quite dangerously delicious.

Shiraz, carignan, grenache, mourvèdre and viognier. Interesting. Juicy, jammy with a touch of that South African smoke.
