Note di degustazione
The Bekkers Syrah Grenache is always Shiraz-dominant and made to a 70/30 or 60/40 margin. The flex, or variation in vintage expressions, comes from the flavor density shift from vintage to vintage. This 2019 Syrah Grenache is concentrated and supple, with layers of cassis, blackberry, raspberry coulis, pink peppercorn and a scrape of olive tapenade; it is balanced and mid-weight—almost leafy, with tobacco leaf and saltbush through the finish. It's a harmonious, zen wine.

Impressively rich fruit here, this has complexity already, with florals, spices, red fruit and darker berries on the nose. The palate is fitted snugly with long, fine tannins and a discreetly spicy thread of oak spice and structure. Succulent and sweetly fruited. Drink over the next ten years. Screw cap.
64% Syrah, 36% Grenache. Around 33% whole-bunch fermented. Syrah definitely dominates the nose, with lots of dark-berry character. Wonderfully tarry and serious, but there is accessibility too. Attractive black-olive note on the finish. The Grenache seems to soften the tannic blow, and there's a sense of restraint despite the full-on fruit power. Very lengthy. A great example of McLaren Vale's serious side. (RH)
