Sea Horse Winery
Antoine Tête de Cuvée Syrah Blend
Israel
Dark ruby in color with medium intensity and a dark red rim.
Sweet and Refreshing nose of cherries, strawberries, currants, dirt, light vanilla, earth, licorice and metals.
Medium-bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Tart and dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, plums, red currants, earth, forest floor, vanilla and black pepper.
Medium finish with soft tannins and black pepper.
This is a nice quality wine. 100% organic grapes. Reminds me of a red Chateauneuf du Pape.
A very unique blend of 56% Sierra, 21% Grenache, 13% Mourvedre, 8% Counoise and 2% Cinsault.
Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

16.5/20 (91/100)
Аромат сильный, полный, с животными и землистыми нотами, черные ягоды. Мощно, чуть алкогольно, молодо. Приличный потенциал.

was hoping for wow and it is a wow.
10 years of marriage today.
things didn't go well all through. but we matured surprisingly well.
this is the oldest wine i had (in terms of years passed from bottling).
i was lucky to help again sorting 🍇 after 2019 harvesting at seahorse winery. it was Petit syrah this time.
after a hard day laboring (back hurt for two weeks following intensive yet pleasurable 'punch down') they said: pick a bottle
i took this 2012 gsm (sgm really) which was bottled same day.
72% syrah
16% grenache
12% mourvadre
14% ABV
dense red with some blueness and thick legs👀
green funkness, tobbaco, mushrooms, wet leaves and ripe black fruit 👃
medium + body.
high bursting acidity.
black fruit ruling with green notes, tartness and pepper. some sweetness felt at the back👄
long 🎯 with tannins that are soft and pleasant and take their time before leaving.
it took it's time.
opened and chilled in the refrigerator 2 hours before drinking.
started as: that is nice but no wowness.
as it warmed up and had more air it became what it's supposed to be:
complex balanced superb spicy juice.
not sure how much they charge but excellent vfm for sure.
on its own it was great after opening up.
sourdough bread with 🐐butter and unknown stinky yellow 🧀 made it juicier and spice was stronger.
great sicilian style home made caponata had the same effect.
seahorse winery getting a 🏆again? for shizzle.
same wine after 10 years more of marriage would probably be even better.

Needs 40 minute to open up. Medium body, missing some minerality and crispness. Medium intense in color, nose and pallet.
