Tasting Note: 2010 Lammershoek Syrah LAM

I'll post another wine that I tasted some time ago. You'll see that the tasting notes I publish from wines that were  tasted some time ago will have a high average score. This is because it's more fun to show you guys wines that are good.

Tasting note for the 2010 Lammershoek Syrah LAM:
Nice nose with dark berries and strawberries. Balanced, with tastes of dark berries and pepper. Finishes with cherries. Medium long finish, nice acidity and good balance. Lacks some depth. 90 points

When it comes to New World wines I tend to like the ones that are more like the Old World wines. The 2010 Lammershoek Syrah LAM is not a fruit bomb and has 13.5% alcohol. It is balanced and elegant. It's got more the characteristics of a Syrah from Northern Rhone than the wines you usually find from South Africa or Australia. In addition to that, it is cheap. This is a great wine for everyday drinking.
