Mont Rochelle Syrah 2007

Name: Mont Rochelle Syrah 2007
Brand: Mont Rochelle
SKU: 21775

Intense plummy red colour, this full bodied wine has a lot to boast. Black pepper and spice interlaced with plum and blackberries burst from the glass. This follows through to a complex mouth feel of seductive red berry fruits and layers of mocha, combined harmoniously with silky smooth tannins and a well integrated mouth feel.
