Roasted black plum, star anise, clove, charred beef and hints of tar show on the dynamic nose of this cool-climate Syrah bottling. The mouthfeel is lighter and airy, delivering freshly cracked peppercorn, lavender, dark berry and lightly gamy flavors of singed hair and flesh.

Lastly, the 2018 Syrah Estate was 75% destemmed and brought up in neutral oak as well. It’s a ruby/purple-hued Syrah revealing peppery notes of red and blue fruits, violets, orange blossom, and spice. With medium-bodied richness, lively acidity, and a juicy, balanced texture, it reminds me of a great Saint-Joseph. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.
