Beschreibung: Der K-Vintners Powerline Syrah präsentiert sich mit einem Bouquet von dunklen Beeren, Zwetschgen und Schwarzkirsche gepaart mit erdigen Tönen, Kakao und Tabak. Am Gaumen ist der K-Vintners Powerline Syrah kraftvoll mit einer schönen Mineralität und weichen, geschliffenen Tanninen. Der K-Vintners Powerline Syrah wird für 27 Monate im Barrique ausgebaut und ist der Einstieg in die Masterclass-Welt von Charles Smith und K-Vintners. Der K-Vintners Powerline Syrah passt hervorragend zu gegrillten Fleischgerichten, herzhaftem Käse wie Parmesan oder Gorgonzola, aber auch zu kräftigen Pastagerichten ein wunderbare Begleiter. 

Anthony Mueller für Robert Parker: „The 2016 Syrah Powerline has a more robust nose than many of the other Syrahs in the range, with an open-knit expression of blackberry jus, dark cherry compote and soft, savory aromas over a core of dusty river rock. The medium to full-bodied palate shows an approachable wine that may not last as long as the other Syrahs in the range but is ready now. The wine has a tension that delivers pleasure with depth on the long finish that ends slightly hot.“

Stephen Tanzer für Vinous: „Bright, dark red. Slightly liqueur-like aromas of raspberry and exotic spices. Bright and penetrating, offering sharply delineated flavors of boysenberry, pomegranate and game. This high-pitched midweight delivers serious energy and a late note of pungent citrus peel adds grip to the finish. This wine and The Beautiful have similar pHs around 3.95, according to Leighton. (from the Phelps clone; fermented in large stainless steel seed bins)“

Wine Spectator: „Expressive and richly constructed, yet detailed and nuanced, offering lively blueberry, black olive and smoky meat flavors that parade toward big but polished tannins. Drink now through 2029.“

James Suckling: „All puncheon-fermented and accordingly has richness and a darker, gold hue in the glass. Complex and gently toasty spicy notes lead to peach custard and attractively grippy yet smooth texture on the palate. Long and succulent, the full potential of the variety is all here. Drink now.“
