| Description: | 5 Stars 2022 Platter's South African Wine Guide Same winemaking for 3 syrahs spotlights terroir. Dryland 1989 Paardeberg vines yield freshness, perfume &length. Florals & black pepper, wet slate minerality & succulence in 19 (97 pts). Tight-wound tannins – takes longer to open in glass & develop in bottle. Wholebunch natural ferment, 2 years 500L barrels (50% new) & foudres, unfined/filtered. 94+ pts Wine Advocate Dec 2022 Beginning with a floral lift, the 2019 Granite Syrah is gorgeous and sashays with aromas of red and black spice with juicy red fruit skin and dusty red flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is refined with elements of violets, lilies and spiced red tea before displaying a mouthwatering mineral tension. The Granite Syrah continues to offer its secrets as it reveals layers of complexity upon the refined, fresh and thoughtful finish. Bravo, I'm going back for another sip! 2022-2038 94 pts Wine Spectator 5/31/23 A compact, creamy red, with broad shoulders and sculpted tannins tightly meshed with flavors of bitter cherry and currant, crushed peppercorn, dried lavender, graphite and stony mineral. Not a powerhouse wine, this instead carries its stature gracefully as the flavor range expands and lingers on the palate. Best from 2024 through 2034. 224 cases made, 15 cases imported. |
