This classy Syrah reveals a harmonious blend of ripe blackberries and plums with touches of violet, black pepper, and smoky cedar on the nose. On the palate, vibrant acidity complements juicy black cherries, while subtle notes of cured meat and graphite add complexity. The finish is enduring, with lingering black fruit and white pepper spiciness, reflecting its coastal origin.

Placed our first order with Rainbow Nation Wines earlier this week, and have to say I am super impressed with the process. Quite a big order with some single and double selections as well as a couple of cases. Smaller order arrived after 2 days via An Post, and the larger order of the cases is out for delivery today with DPD.
