Ray Jordan’s review

Syrah. Wow, deep colour and a powerful aroma announce a wine of power, poise and presence. Deep black and dark red colour with touches of purple. There is a sweet and beautiful spicy freshness and energy that bursts from the glass. This wine is about feel, and there is a saline minerality and alkaline character, combining with an almost glazed shimmering sheen. It is a wine that is both detailed and expansive, with layered, revealing textures and flavours burning within. The fruit is from dry-grown vertically trellised vines on the Powerbark and Wilson’s Pool vineyards. And the detail comes from the handpicking berry sorting approach before gravity feeding the two demi muids with a 55% whole bunch component.
