Named after the storms that dominated nautical exploration centuries ago in the Western Cape. This is made by Mick Craven and is a blend of Cinsault, Syrah and Carignan - the last 2 grapes were fermented whole cluster and the Cinsault was fully-destemmed. Aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, orange peel and chai tea with a hint of wet gravel. The palate is fresh and uplifting with notes of briary raspberry, morello cherry and wild lavender finished with an orange twist. This is an ethereal, vivid red blend that is perfect for any season or any occasion.Reminiscent of a fine Rhône wine but still so South African with vibrant freshness.
VinePair: 90 Points
This red blend from South Africa’s Western Cape region is an ideal weeknight wine. The combination of 50 percent Syrah, 40 percent Cinsault, and 10 percent Carignan provides impressive balance for a $15 bottle. The Syrah acts as the wine’s canvas, giving it great structure and complex savory notes. The Cinsault adds vibrant red fruit aromas, and the Carignan brings the bold, brambly berry flavors.
