Porseleinberg Syrah 2018

Perfumed and intensely expressive, Porseleinberg Syrah 2018 layers black cherry, raspberry and dark plum with violet, black pepper, dried herbs and graphite. Juicy acidity and firm, finely structured tannins give the palate remarkable tension, leading to a long, mineral and spice-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Grilled lamb, venison, pepper-crusted steak, smoked beef, charcuterie, and herb-roasted mushrooms.

97 Points - James Suckling

Savory aromas of grilled plums, meat and herbs as well as hot stone and crushed blackberries. Full-bodied with fine, silky tannins that are soaked in fruit and run the length of the palate. Bright and driven with wonderful depth and complexity. Mineral and textural with wonderful length. White smoke and grated nutmeg.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Medium to full-bodied, the wine continues to somersault in the mouth, offering a delightful array of dusty roses, lavender and lilac, black peppercorn and potpourri. Juicy acidity and high toned, red fruit flavors express in waves with a kiss of iodine and umami with a delightful mineral tension.

94 Points - Wine Spectator

Though savory at first, with an herbal overtone of bay leaf and dried lavender and a dark, tangy iron note layered deep, this full-bodied red is nonetheless richly fruit-forward, with a range of blackberry preserves, roasted fig and crème de cassis. Expands on the fresh, focused palate, returning on the chalky finish to the fragrant floral and spice notes.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of bell pepper and black olive open the nose of this lightly wooded red. On the palate, bay leaf and black fruit meet black olive and grilled bell pepper alongside good acidity.
