Porcupine Ridge, Coastal Region (South Africa) Syrah 2008

Sep 22, 2009

By Michael Apstein

The Porcupine Ridge label from Boekenhoutskloof invariably offers great value.  This 2008 Syrah is no exception.  Expressing the meaty, beefy side of Syrah rather than the peppery aspect, it is an engaging wine with supple texture that makes it perfect for current drinking with hearty fare.
