Deep-red colour; full-ripe, spicy, dark-fruit, vanilla and oak flavour, opening up with white pepper and richness – a real Syrah feel; the taste is fruity, clean, well balanced with a long finish; the wine shows nice oak and reflects an elegant style with a capacity to mature well for the next 3-5 years. Wine Spectator Magazine (September 2009 Issue): 88/100 Points "A thick, velvety layer of plum sauce is pushed by braised fig, espresso and charred apple wood notes in this ripe, open-knit red. The finish is long and fleshy. Drink now. 1,300 cases made." - J.M. Wine Enthusiast Magazine (September 2009 Issue): 86/100 Points "This introverted but elegant Syrah starts with full, spicy blackberry and violet aromas. Flavors of spice, oak and black fruit are restrained and clean in a more traditional Syrah style. The finish is spicy and dry but lingers. Ageable and an excellent food pairing wine; think spicy grilled meats, cheeses." - S.K. THE STORY BEHIND THE WINE: Cape to Cairo Wines embody the Spirit of the Classic African Adventure.
