Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Color: Deep, dark red.
Palate: Rich flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate. Excellent depth of intensity and an almost seamless structure. The intense flavors are held together by well-integrated fine grain tannins, providing a long rewarding finish. A stylish wine which will age.
Food Suggestions: Rib-eye steak or filet mignon with roasted vegetables.
Serving Temperature: Best served at room temperature.
Cellaring: Although drinking beautifully now, would reward careful cellaring, 4-7 years.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
Covering a long strip of southeastern coastline in South Australia, the Limestone Coast growing region has a moderately cool climate and includes the subregions of Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully.
Its warm northern and inland areas are recognized for high quality, full-bodied Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The much cooler Mount Gambier, to the extreme south, is well-suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
