2020 Lismore Syrah - 94 PTS - WA

wa"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"

2021 Lismore Syrah - 94+ PTS - WA

wa"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"

2022 Lismore Syrah - 93 PTS - TA

tim atkin logo 250"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"

2022 Lismore Syrah - 94 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2022 Syrah comes from a selection of vineyards, mostly from Elgin but with some fruit from Stanford. It includes 50% whole cluster and was aged in large oak barrels. This has an open, complex bouquet with red cherries, bergamot and light ferrous scents, gaining mineralité in the glass. Hints of violet emerge with time. Fresh and saline, the palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, revealing a dash of white pepper and clove toward the precise finish. Superb. - Neal Martin"
