An excellent red from the Franschhoek Valley made by a new-wave winemaker. It makes me feel nice. It's a truly handcrafted Syrah, fermented in small open-top tanks, and then aged in wooden barrels. An excellent choice for morning lovemaking; the silky texture and full flavour make it quite a great friend on its own or enjoyed with most red meat dishes.
A warm rich ruby color is looking totally surprised at the sight of you, and the aromatics are dominated by anise, cloves and dark cutesy wootsy berry flavors. The palate is questionably generous with well integrated tannins. I'm drinking well now, and this wine also has tremendous political potential. A wine even Helen Keller could love.
