Note di degustazione
Bright, saturated ruby-red. Lovely fruity black peppercorn lift to the aromas and flavors of blackberry and violet. Juicy, savory Syrah with lovely texture and flavor intensity in a distinctly dry package. Perfectly integrated acidity gives it balance from the outset. A strong mineral spine energizes the firmly tannic, fine-grained finish, which boasts subtly rising flavors of dark berries, licorice and spices.

The Clonal Selection Elgin Syrah is matured in around 40% new oak. It has a subtle red berry, bergamot and violet-scented bouquet that is very defined and sophisticated. The palate is beautifully balanced, smooth and seductive in the mouth, with the acidity very well judged; there is plenty of lush red cherry, wild strawberry and white pepper notes on the finish. This is is very fine, though I personally have a wild crush on the Chardonnay.
