Porcupine Ridge

Vintage: 2007
Type: Syrah
Country: South Africa - Cape of Good Hope



I was quite disappointed with this wine. Apparently a medal winner in this years IWC, I was certainly expecting more from it. I found it harsh and acidic, which will perhaps mellow with age. Stay away for now, perhaps revisit in a few years.

Nice Syrah. It went well with the spicy dish we had that evening. Nice rich fruity taste.
