Craven Wines Syrah Faure Vineyard 2016
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South AfricaLovely dusty florals, black raspberry lead this whole bunch Syrah, followed by a core of black plum, dried blackberry and cherry. Big stones line the bed of this youthful wine, finely textured and peppery throughout, with a gentle tug of tannins to frame the ripe fruit. You can feel the granitic soils here. A lovely flush of peppery warmth on the grippy finish sings Stellenbosch. As with all their reds, this was 100% whole bunch, lightly stomped, gently handled and into old puncheons for 10 months.Tasted: 30 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Le Sommelier Inc.
