ESK VALLEY SYRAH WINEMAKERS 07

Esk Valley Syrah Winemakers 07

$63.50 750 MLS
Fullish, dark ruby red in colour, this has an intense, punchy nose of red and black fruits, perfumes redolent of black roses with oak spice and hints of game complexity. Full, rich and showing a robustness of structure from serious extraction, the flavours of black fruits, black pepper and spices are interwoven with a floral and red note, that along with good acidity provide a tautness and tension to the size of the wine. This impressive wine will cellar for a 10-15 years and be an excellent match to rich game food. Gordon Russell’s baby, the wine is made from fruit from 11 y.o. vines from the ‘Cornerstone’ vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels. After destemming, wild yeast fermentation in open top concrete vats with hand plunging, the resultant wine of 14.3% alc was matured 21 months in 30% new French oak barriques. Only 170 cases were made.  RC June 10
