Description
"A beautifully poised expression of cool-climate Syrah, offering aromatic complexity and refined structure. The nose is vibrant and perfumed, with a medley of spice - cinnamon, clove, and star anise - woven through lifted notes of red fruits and violet and subtle oak. On the palate, this Syrah is savoury and energetic, with juicy plum and red fruits at its core. A lively, sappy character carries through to a long, savoury finish, underscored by bright acidity that gives the wine tension, drive and great potential to age gracefully. The texture is sleek, with superfine tannins that are both moreish and elegant. A Syrah of balance, detail, and compelling drinkability." - Winemaker Notes
"A swish and swagger to this shiraz, ripe raspberry, some forest berry coulis, cola and cinnamon. Good chew to tannin, a stretch of dustiness, firming up nicely then bouncing through a juicy, frisky, blood orange finish. Savoury, crushed sage and basil leaf notes, a bit of meatiness and earl grey to close. A little veer into dry reddy territory, but hey, tis the season. Good wine, lots of savoury notes, pleasing overall feel and good depth. Ticking boxes." - 93 Points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
