Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Two years ago, when I bought this wine, I was told it would age well, and it has! I half-expected it would have lost its acidity and might be a bit flat. Wow, was I wrong! On the nose, there is still a lot of fresh red berry and more candied cherry, spicy and earthy aromas. On the palate, Play Estate Winery 2015 Syrah is dry, medium-plus-bodied with dried cherry, savoury herb, earthy and pepper spice flavours with a lingering spicy finish and pleasant, mildly grippy tannins. Definitely a cool-climate Syrah built to age and I would say to drink by 2022 because it is beautiful now. This vintage was awarded Silver at the 2017 B.C. Wine Awards Okanagan Wine Festival.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
