description: Major-league Syrah from New Zealand? You bet. Tips the scales at 15.4% alcohol, yet never seems hot. Instead, you get a wonderfully balanced wine loaded with cassis and blackberry fruit, but also notes of coffee and ground pepper. Chewy tannins on the finish suggest it could age, but the wine is soft enough that there's no need to wait. Imported by Kobrand.
variety: Syrah
designation: Le Sol
