This is a relatively new small-batch label from Danish sommelier-turned-winemaker Uffe Deichmann. Fermented in concrete egg, this Syrah echoes those made similarly in the Southern Rhône with their fruit purity, ferrous nuances and unique tannin structure. It's open and lucid, with heady scents of fresh raspberry, sour cherry, cut flowers, Aussie bush herbs, dark chocolate and furniture polish, all of it from the fruit and not from oak. Chalky, bone-dry tannins cinch tightly on the crunchy, medium-weight palate. Drink now slightly chilled with tangy meat or veggies (think beef jerky or balsamic-marinated portobellos).

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
