Rochford Hill Road Syrah 2021

An elegant, medium-weight, sweetly fruited and textural Yarra shiraz with some powerful St Joseph-like qualities. It’s musky, meaty and spicy, with dark plum and dark berry aromas lifted by a whiff of cracked pepper. Backed by a fine, powdery spine, it’s long and savoury, fleshing out with more richness of fruit with extended time in the glass, finishing with suggestions of charcuterie meats and mineral. If you’re drinking it young, aerate it well.
