Blueprint Syrah
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Amazing flavours. Quite fruity, with a long dry finish one can taste why 2009 was a good year for wine in SA.

Maybe I just had low expectations? Shirazy nose with blueberry compote. Smooth, maybe even creamy with a distinct SA (good) tang of tannin and dark grapeyness. Leather and spice. Nice!

Very nice - a bit too smokey for my taste this time but nice overall
