This Syrah is Handpicked from the Warner Vineyard in Beechworth. The vineyard is situated in the foothills of the Alpine Valley of Victoria and is composed of granitic-loam over clay and areas of slate and shale. The 2013 is an absolutely brilliant showing, offering aromas and flavors of blackberries and cherries woven together with pepper, spices, black olive, violets and a meaty character. This expands beautifully onto the palate with a gorgeous polished texture and wonderful overall balance of fruit and acidity before entering the long, persistent finish. This outstanding expression of Syrah from winemaker Gary Mills shows some wonderful characteristics, which are similar to wines of the Northern Rhône, it is drinking beautifully today and I expect it to continue to drink well over the next decade. 530 cases made.
