Winery Review: "Deep crimson color with brick red mousse and a fine bead. The aroma displays ripe plums, earthy notes and spice. Mouth-filling flavors of plums and prunes with hints of liquorice. Soft, creamy with a persistent cherry, chocolate and spice finish."

Wine Folly: pg 392 "Syrah" The high body mentioned in this section was offset on the initial mouth and nose by the carbonization. Of the notes listed in the book the ones I got were the stonefruit (plum) as well as the tobacco and herb taste.
Personal Review: Rebecca and I enjoyed this wine, slightly chilled, while sitting and reading in the sun on a lovely day. This is the most full-bodied wine I have experienced with carbonation. The carbonation offsets the initial bite of the tannins of the wine, and the taste is mostly grape juice. However as the carbonation wanes in the mouth, the other notes come forward. Predominantly we noticed tobacco and chocolate, with some plum in there as well. Quite dry and quite pleasant. We have a lovely time.
I did not have any food with this wine.
