Newton Johnson Syrah Mourvedre 2004

The refined, cooler climate of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley offers a mineral style of wine with dark crimson fruit, a great array of spice and perfume flavors, and cashmere textured tannins to match. A touch of Mourvedre in the blend introduces savory and gamey characters. A delicious savory edged, spicey wine with a lovely mouthfeel.
