The fruit sits in a savoury register, lifted, with fine tannins carrying the line. This is a wine of cadence rather than power — it lingers, rather than insists. We believe this is one of the finest Syrah in Australia, if not the New World. At least if the measuring stick is the Northern Rhône.
“Bold and complex. You are entering into serious syrah territory, brought to you by one of Beechworth’s more celebrated vintages. Aromas of dark fruits, black berries, blue fruits and licorice come with a lifted spiciness that entices. A ripe amalgam of flavour resides here, where blueberries, dark spices and hints of oak and earth are invested in fine tannins and carried by a boldness of overall delivery. An enticing sour-cherry-influenced savouriness awaits on the palate. Beautifully constructed; this is a wine that should age effortlessly and with grace.” 97 points from Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion.
