The 2014 'Stonessence' Syrahis a stunning effort by the incredibly talented winemaker Matt Reynvaan. The wine displays a dark, brooding in color followed by aromas of smoked meat, blood orange, umami, and barn floor. The palate is plush, layered and mineral driven as the purity of fruit is apparent. There are deep, concentrated flavors of black tea, black olive tapenade, black cherry and iron with suggestions of black truffle which expand beautifully through the wine. The textural presence, balance and salinity is absolutely sensational, as the wine has a marvelous sense of place. (Best 2017-2027) - August, 2017 (OB)
