2018 Estate Syrah Magnum
each
Cold-climate Syrahs show a strong fruit component but they reveal a more rustic and briary side. Also, instead of being entirely fruit driven, the wines are far more nuanced with layers of non-fruited complexity that are intriguing upon release and will unfold for years to come. Tell-tale cold-climate Syrahs have black and green olive nuances along with other Mediterranean aromas of thyme, lavender and brine. Other less fruited but charming notes of earth, peppercorns, tobacco, leaf litter and baking spices often weave throughout great examples. And arguably the most important aspect, these wines are fantastic at the table with any grilled meats, particularly lamb; roasted vegetables like onion, tomato, bell peppers and eggplant; and any savory winter dishes like hearty stews.
