2022 Marynissen "Heritage Collection" Cabernet-Syrah🔥92pts Exclusive Release

This is a very exciting wine. I’ve been pounding the table for years hoping to see more blend like this on the market.

Roughly 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Syrah, and 15% Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in French and American oak, with a good portion of new barrels.

The nose delivers dark berries, dark cherry, blackcurrant, sweet tobacco, sage, pencil lead cocoa, and cedar.

On the palate, the wine is rich and precise and savoury, with beautifully integrated oak and slightly rugged tannins that give it a bit of structure.

The Syrah really shines through on the mid-palate, bringing a subtle smoky, meaty character, while the dark fruit remains the backbone of the wine. Toward the finish, the profile shifts slightly toward graphite and pencil lead, adding complexity, with barrel spice lingering on the back end.

With member pricing bringing this bottle to $22 including tax, this wine is a real steal and the kind of bottle that would make a fantastic “buy by the case” style wine. give it a quick decant, it makes a nice difference. (Carl Boucher, March 6, 2026).
