FORMAT: 12x750mL
AVAILABILITY: SPLTY, Good Stock Available
90 POINTS Wine Advocate "The 2009 Alpha Syrah contains 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Viognier. It spent 12 months in French oak. The aromatics receive a pleasing lift from the Viognier component in addition to notes of meat, game, lavender, and blueberry. Rich, layered, and long, this pleasure-bent Syrah has the structure to evolve for another 2-3 years and will be at its best from 2013 to 2021." February 2012

91 POINTS Wine Align "An elegant fruity red with a beautiful nose of blackberry and mulberry fruit toned by subtle oak spice and herbal notes. It is full bodied but feels lighter due to some soft acidity. Very good length with some nice tannin giving grip to the finish. Decant for an hour before enjoying with a steak or cellar for a few years. Best 2013 to 2017." Steve Thurlow, November 2012 Find PIRRAMIMMA wines at the BCLDB - Click for store availability |

AVAILABILITY: SPLTY, Good Stock Available
90 POINTS gismondionwine.com "It's unthinkable that the 2010 could be as good as the 2009 but it may be even better. The mix is a blend of 70/20/10 grenache, syrah and mourvèdre and it grabs your attention from the nose to the finish. The nose is a mix of ripe, red and dark fruit flavours with smoky spicy notes. The entry is fragrant with soft slippery black cherry and plum fruit with bits of kirsch, licorice root and some savoury, meaty notes. This is a barbecue star you should buy by the case. Try it with assorted grilled meats or cellar and drink through 2015." 2012
