Mont Rochelle Syrah 2008
Franschhoek Valley, Paarl, Coastal Region, South AfricaWarm, sultry spiced cassis, black plum and five spice poke through the lashes of oak that this Franschhoek syrah faced, thankfully now with nine years of age, are starting to quiet. The warm, dusty sandstone soils feel present in this wine, through the tug to the well-worn tannins and the expansiveness on the palate. Pulled pork or grilled beef is a natural.Tasted: 31 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices: Producer: Mont RochelleGrape: Shiraz/Syrah
