13.2%. Dark cherries and blackberry nose. Apparently picked from young vines at the time. Very juicy. Fruit yes but quite burgh like in style. Deep cherry 🍒 flavors. Hint oregano some whole cluster? Lacks depth. Seems very little if any oak was used. Storm has a brother in South Africa who makes wine under the same name. I like the winery but it is not 100% my style. More complex and even better the next day. Now orange peel, touch bitter. I wonder if this was a one off or if this vineyard is special. Will go back and buy more from new vintages!
