What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

Lifted, scented red berry fruit aromatics, cherry, strawberry and vanilla notes. Sweet, spicy oak and silky fruit dominate a succulent palate, which has good balance and great mouth feel.
