Smooth, juicy sweet fruit with some heat
Description: Medium ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features cedar, cherry, plum, raspberry, thyme, pepper, mint, chocolate, dates and lavender on the nose. Medium+ body with smooth tannin, good acidity and a fairly long length.
Negatives: Some heat from the 14.5% alcohol
Interesting Note: The front labels on In Situ wines always contain interesting facts.
Drink now or in the next 3 years. Great on its own, but one of the most perfect pairings with a good Syrah is a simple Beef Stew, seasoned with herbes de Provence, anise seeds and pepper.
