Similarly to its Petit Syrah cousin reviewed previously, this wine generated quite an enthusiasm among our tasters. "It feels like an excellent home wine" remarked one taster. "Excellent" and "lively" said others. This natural, organic, low-sulfite wine features already familiar smell and taste of plums, however it is even more berry and fruity. It fills your mouth with magnificent, almost dizzying collection of tastes and makes you feel as if you were watching some kind of fauvist painting with bold colors overwhelming your senses. We are giving it 4 stars just because we are reserving 5 stars for uniquely religious wine experiences.
