I love this wine. It's got this great fresh juicy blackberry component balancing against a ton of meaty, peppery funkiness. Not a big wine, this syrah is more about the fun acidity than the structure. #natural #organic #minimalSO2 #louisdressner

Forgot to take a photo, but great btl. I was worried that these wines would be too natural but that is not the case. Some subtle va, but in a positive way, it brightens the fruit. Syrah meat and earth and red fruited.

Nice little number, though needs a little time to open, certainly more enjoyable with food, such as raw / light fish

A pure beauty. I will be seeking this wine out. Lean elegance and poised balance

Lots of roses on the bouquet and not that usual sauvage meatiness. Plenty of nice grip and acidity and quite lovely and balanced palate.

100% Syrah. With a bit of tannin which is framed and well defined by acidity and tightness. The fruit is fresh, crisp, vibrant and layered

Solid, flirting with deliciousness but a little elusive like these can be. Clean.
