Structured on the nose, the 2017 Granite Syrah has a black-fruited core with classic black pepper notes and hints of oak. The wine is still tightly wound on the palate, with dusty blackberries and a mineral tension to the mid-palate. Soft black pepper tones coupled with grippy and fine-grained tannins linger on the long finish. Not yet released, this wine shows tremendous aging potential.
Tightly coiled, with an alluring velvety feel, showing notes of raspberry sauce and blackberry juice at the core. Violet perfume and juniper accents add to the charm as this persists on the finish. Give this a few more years to start showing its best.
