Winemaker Notes
Deep crimson purple in color. Cascading aromas of wild blackberries, ripe blueberries and Black Forest cake are framed by hints of Indian spices. Rich and ripe, this Y Series Shiraz is a glorious mouthful of South Australia with layers of ripe blackberries and Christmas cake on the palate, enveloped in soft, juicy, fully ripe tannins.
This wine drinks perfectly with red braised pork belly, or falafel wraps with hummus, tomato, cucumber, and tabbouleh.

A peppery nose of ripe cherries and blueberries. Not complex, but the pepperiness is engaging and honest, with a medium body and soft-grained tannins. Fluid, with a medium-long finish to close.
Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
