A little time in the cellar has done this cool-climate Syrah no harm. Fragrant red fruits, spice and crushed white pepper lead into a medium-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity and impressive length.

Reviewed by Ryan Montgomery for James Suckling, with 96 points; also Huon Hooke for The Real Review, gave it 93 points, with its cool-climate character and whole-bunch influence on show; and also Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion similarly awarded it 93 points.

A spicy, meaty syrah with all the lovely nuance syrah lovers seek from the Northern Rhone: plum, grilled meats, crushed stone, dried herbs and a savory, earthy character. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with firmly integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a long, savory finish full of depth and complexity. An excellent syrah drinking wonderfully well now but with plenty of time ahead in bottle." - 96 points from Ryan Montgomery for James Suckling.

Medium-full red without purple tints, and showing some development. The aromas are driven by green-pea vegetal notes, the palate dominated by lively acidity that hardens the tannins and there is a distinct impression of whole-bunch fermentation. Chunky tannins on the finish and aftertaste. A cool climate shiraz of the vegetal style. It needs time and/or hearty food."

Wears a cool-climate, herbal-edged personality married to ripe dark berry flavours and then some. Sage, rosemary, pepper, black cherry and plum introduce a wine that builds in sinewy, bunchy herbals, finishing dusty and astringent dry. One to match with food."- 93 points. - Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion.

Usually $420 for six bottles, this special six-pack is yours for $250 — saving $170. Six bottles. One very good reason to restock the cellar.
