NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

A dark and brooding Syrah from the Gabriëlskloof estate, the Whole Bunch Syrah delivers a deep and intense nose of ripe blackberry and plum, with hints of black pepper and white pepper.On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with a juicy core of ripe blackberry and plum flavors, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a bright acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering hint of spice. An excellent example of Whole Bunch Syrah.
