This 2013 Adelaide Hills Syrah presents an aromatic bouquet of dark berries such as blackberry and plum, intertwined with classic cool-climate notes of black pepper, baking spice (clove, star anise), and a hint of violet or floral lift. Savory undertones of olive or cured meat may also emerge with air. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a refined structure, offering concentrated dark fruit flavors balanced by vibrant acidity. The tannins are fine-grained and persistent, leading to a long, savory finish marked by lingering spice and a characteristic peppery kick.
