2020 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Syrah

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a bright red to dark red hue. Pepper laced aromas of plum and liquorice emanate from the glass followed by some fresh herb, spiced meat and faint vanillin cedar notes. The elegant mid weighted palate features red plum and red liquorice fruits over spicy vanillin cedar, a gentle meatiness and peppered herb characters. There’s a subtle fleshiness to the mouthfeel with a polished tannin structure and a nicely balanced freshness to the refined finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
If pinot noir is your go-to red on the Peninsula, this syrah just might convince you otherwise, as it’s an elegant and perfectly poised wine. A neat combo of dark plums, fragrant with red licorice, a hint of menthol and woodsy spices. Sitting comfortably on medium bodied, with beautiful textural tannins unfurling all the way through.
