Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown - Thorley Syrah - 2021

An elegant, cool-climate syrah – for once, you might agree with the winemaker's preference for the term syrah over shiraz, and what it means in the glass. The latter maintains a lively, enduring spiciness and charm. Here's a vintage that offers a wealth of the region's pepper and spice style with ripe, dark plums, black cherry fruits, toasty oak and an intriguing whisper of savoury, smoked meats. Rolls across the tongue aided by fine-cut tannins. Depth and grace.” 95 Points Jeni Port, The Wine Companion
