Winemaker Notes
Beautiful vibrant purple in color, this Syrah lends inviting spice and floral perfume aromatics with underlays of fleshy, juicy fruit. This mix of wild berry fruits extends across the palate with weight and texture and the gentle but firm oak integrates with this array of berry fruit, giving length and complexity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Cedar, espresso and black olives give a rich, savory impression on the nose of the 2014 Right Reverend V Syrah. This velvety, full-bodied Syrah packs in plenty of dark fruit, ample spice (licorice and pepper) and ripe tannin, then lingers elegantly on the finish. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.

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.”
Quite remote and unequalled in beauty, the wine regions of Westerm Australia promise endless physical and climatic diversity. From the coolest, seaside vineyards to the hottest inland zones, Western Australia is the source of some of the country’s most sought after wines.
