Description

Red Wine: 2015 | Blank Canvas | Syrah

What a great bouquet of Syrah, fresh, peppery & fruity. Violets, brown baking spices and toasty oak. Equally engaging on the palate with a core of salty, ripe red berry fruit flavours, pepper and olive, some meaty fleshy moments, firm tannins, a back bone of acidity and long finish.

What a great bouquet of Syrah, fresh, peppery & fruity. Violets, brown baking spices and toasty oak. Equally engaging on the palate with a core of salty, ripe red berry fruit flavours, pepper and olive, some meaty fleshy moments, firm tannins, a back bone of acidity and long finish. A decent complexity, layered, balanced and well made.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Interestingly, the 2017 Element Syrah includes 60% whole bunches and was co-fermented with a small proportion of Grüner Veltliner skins, both of which serve to emphasize the wine’s lifted, peppery aromatics. The oak influence is modest, allowing those pepper notes to shine, accenting dark olive and black cherry fruit. At under 13% alcohol, it’s a lithe, silky wine, medium-bodied but amply concentrated, with a lingering finish. Drink it anytime over the next decade.

• Wine Spectator: Super peppery and sweetly fragrant, woody spices on offer here. This has a very fresh and frisky, complex feel with concentrated blackberries and cassis defining the palate, as well as chocolate and pepper. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
