This Melville Syrah expresses what is so special about cool climate Syrahs. Although they are fruity, they go beyond simple fruitiness – there is another dimension of enticing aromatic spiciness. This Syrah has great density of flavor. It possesses earth and animal flavors, and has mouth-coating and delicious tannins.

91 points, Wine Spectator (August 2012): “A rich, sleek, pleasantly earthy style…Full-blown and intense, yet graceful…”
