| Verdict | A dry, savory Syrah with firm tannin, bright acidity and a persistent herbal finish. Lighter than conventional Syrah, but distinctly wine-like rather than sw… | Dealcoholized American Cabernet under 0.5% ABV. Black plum, dark cherry, and cocoa in a light body, tart acid, modest tannin, a dry bitter close. |

| Likeness | Recognizably red wine in its acidity, tannin and herbal character; lighter in body than a conventional Syrah. | The dark fruit reads as Cabernet. The structure does not: too light, too tart, not enough tannin to stand in for a full red. |
