Description
Bursting from the glass with bright, sweet red fruit, the 2020 Granite Syrah is fresh and floral with an instantly pleasing aromatic nose. Medium to full-bodied and subtly spiced, the palate offers flavors of crunchy red fruit with hints of potpourri that sway with elegance and finesse. The wine reveals a nimble brightness to the mid-palate, showing purity with youthful, gripping tannins. The Syrah concludes with a gracefully elegant finish that brings me back for more.

Critics reviews
The 2020 Syrah Granite, which usually has a slightly lower pH, has a beautiful bouquet with red fruit, light terracotta, dried violet scents, and a hint of Earl Grey in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, cohesive and impressive weight, tightly packed towards the finish with a pinch of white pepper and sage on the aftertaste. Give this two or three years in the bottle.
Drink 2024 - 2040
A lovely nose of red cherries, black licorice and dried rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, textured tannins. Lovely grip on the palate with an array of red and blue fruit. Layered and expressive with steady intensity and a persistent finish. Tense now.
