2022 noir - 92+ pts from Wine Advocate

A well-named blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Counoise, the 2022 Noir is one of the deep­est, black­est wines in the Kukku­la ros­ter. Its ripe, pow­er­ful nose reveals aro­mas of blue­ber­ry, boy­sen­ber­ry and black­ber­ry pie with dark spice accents. The palate fol­lows with a lus­cious, volup­tuous tex­ture stain­ing in con­cen­tra­tion through its long, fruit-dri­ven fin­ish framed with grainy tan­nins. This will take time to come into itself, but it is one of the more suc­cess­ful wines in the range. 92+ pts
