Tasting note

The 2021 Connect the Dots is pure Syrah sourced from Elgin, Stellenbosch and Agulhas, 15 to 100% whole bunches depending on the parcel, matured in 225 and 300-liter used French oak. This is more reserved on the nose than its peers yet well-defined with dark berry fruit, white pepper and touches of potpourri. Very subtle. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, quite edgy on the entry, with very pure fruit and a slightly confit-like, peppery finish. This is a delightful Syrah from winemaker Sam Lambson.

Score: 91
