For fear of stating the obvious, clouds are made up of millions and millions of drops of moisture. They form some of the softest looking and thought-provoking shapes. If you’re honest, there would have been times when you look at one and think to yourself, that looks like a (insert your image here). They seem to move along the sky so effortlessly with, what seems, no real purpose but we know they can be a great sun blocker or rain provider or a simple time waster depending on your mood. One thing is for sure, there will always be clouds…somewhere.
When you think about it wine is, in effect, no different. Take this wine for instance. Thousands upon thousands of Syrah grapes have been brought together to form bottles of delicious moisture that provokes thought, conversation and conviviality. It is a given too that, there will always be Levantine Hill wines as good as this one…somewhere.

Quite perfumed and pretty on the nose, this wine has you swirling and sniffing repeatedly, and you don’t even realise you’re doing it. Elegance, sophistication, restrained power and richness. Lovely dark fruits to the fore with a sprinkle of white pepper, subtle oak and tannin offer so much in the form of complexity of character and flavour. I continued ‘tasting’ this wine to experience the palate persistence even more. Drink it now or park it in your wine rack, or buy two bottles of this wine and do both. Either way, you will be pleased.
