Critics Ratings

‘Not far behind Full Circle in quality in 2017, this is a fine, gloriously aromatic Syrah with dried herb and Asian spice perfume, textured red berry and plum fruit, scented vanilla oak and a fresh, nuanced, well-balanced finish. 2021-25’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 93/100

‘As rich in local & international awards as in ripe, near-sweet power, expressed with signature refinement in 2017. Usual whiffs of white pepper, lovely supple tannin, plenty of French oak (70% new, 20 months) & 14.6% alcohol continue the big, bold & rewarding styling.’ - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (93/100)
