Mullineux Syrah 2016 Review
This South African Syrah is a damn success. It smells like smokey char from a steak, cooking herbs, and a light mocha vibe. The wine has an awesome weight on the palate, not weighing you down but showing depth. If there was ever a wine for a legit Braai (South African style BBQ) this is it.
