Deep ruby colored with soft purple highlights, the 2017 Syrah In The Rocks opens with a vibrant yet rustic nose of black pepper, dusty plum, currant and blackberry, with hints of olive and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is slightly shy across the mid-palate but is framed by succulent tannins and energetic acidity with a mineral tension that displays the profile of Syrah effortlessly. Showing an elegant and persistent finish, the wine concludes with soft, dusty tones and a black-fruited essence. Drink over the next 10 to 15 years.
