Yarra Valley Syrah
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Gorgeous. So elegant and powerful. Needed a decant to blow off some reduction but that was ok. Stunning! Beautiful wine.

A new producer for me from the Yarra Valley recommended by Prince Wine Store. Mid plus to dark Ruby red. Aromas of bright red and black cherries with spice (cloves), pepper and dried herbs. A note of dried meat. A medium weight palate. Very different to the Barossa and McLaren Vale. I believe that the Yarra Valley does Cabernet best but they also produce great Syrah in the Northern Rhone style and this is an example. Had another bottle 50 weeks later on the 15th April 2023. Consistent notes to last year. A really excellent example of a Northern Rhone Syrah. Loved it. Had my last bottle on 7th December 2023 with similar notes. Meaty and peppery. Barely medium weight. Very northern Rhone. I should look out for future vintages.

Bright, light, pretty gently extracted. Glimmering with red and purple berries on the palate, plus some subtle herbal and (light) green vegetal notes. Joyful. A fresh rendition of syrah in the Souhaut mold.

May 14th, 2021This is such a good LL release. Cool climate Shiraz / Syrah at its very best. So good.

Nice concentration on both nose and palate! Blueberry, lingonberry, hints of meat and vanilla. Awesome!

Nov 27th, 2019Gorgeous! Dense black/blue/purple fruited - great colour in the glass. Bunchy, but not too green, with amazing fine but grippy tannin. Spice, dried herbs, fresh and clean fruited with so much going on. Went back the next day and bought a dozen!

Still pretty tight and racy. Much softer and approachable on night 2. Great wine.

Medium light body. Very refreshing however to my palate it was a touch green. It might settle over time as it did recede a touch with air over two days.
