2022 Ferox Red | 91pts

A balanced and earthy red dominated by Merlot and Syrah demonstrates Ferox's Old World approach. Earthy, restrained, and showcasing the purity of each varietal. The nose has earthy, leather undertones, blackberry, plum, a hit of graphite, and mocha. The palate mirrors the old world nose, plus raspberry, herbaciousness, licorice, dark chocolate, and lingering white pepper on the finish. This is a bit like Bordeaux meets Rhone Valley. The tannins are present, not in your face, but very enjoyable. (Carl Boucher, Sept 19, 2025).
