"The 2020 Syrah starts with a firm, fresh, rustic frame with subtly spiced mineral essence. Notes of dusty purple flowers, savory wild herbs and plum blossom are expressed before seductive cherry aromas sway from the glass. Medium-bodied, the Syrah is fresh, focused and delightfully expressive, showing a succulent and youthful frame with balanced tannins and energetic acidity. The wine will continue to deliver pleasure for years to come. - Anthony Mueller"

"Black tea, cracked pepper, bramble berries and olives on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied, savory and peppery palate. Sleek tannins. Salty olive notes linger. Drink now or hold. - Claire NESBITT."

"Popping with bright red florals and notes of crushed red berries, the 2021 Syrah is fresh, elegant and focused. Medium-bodied and with 13% alcohol, the palate displays fine-grained tannins with bright, crunchy red fruit flavors before displaying elegance and grace. The wine continues to uncoil, offering seductive, spicy elements with soft notes of turned earth and a delightful savory note. 15,000 bottles were produced after the wine rested for 11 months in 15% new oak barrels. - Anthony Mueller"

"Dominated by grapes from Elgin, with a smaller Stanford component, this is the sort of
Syrah that you want to drink by the bottle. Fifty per cent whole bunches add some perfume
and texture to a palate of subtle vanilla spice from 15% new oak and layers of white pepper,
bramble, liquorice and red cherry. 2025-30"
