Critics Ratings

'Always admirable, getting the mix of complexity, typicity & ripeness seamlessly together. Mainly one clone in 2015, known for its perfume, piquant wild berries & violets. Tannins expertly judged; credentials for cellaring but already inviting.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (93/100)

'Given the quality of the Epilogue Syrah, and the Bormans' expertise with the variety, it's no surprise that this well-priced red is so tasty. Meaty, focused and stony, with aromas of wild herbs and ginger spice and a dense, focused finish. 2019-25' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 94/100

'Mid crimson. Slightly sweet notes but lots of fun and with some true Syrah character on the nose. Real grunt and very delicate winemaking leaving an admirably long finish.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Oct 2017)
