Mullineux, Swartland Syrah Granite Vintage:2016 Ravera and Le Coste vineyards

Ravera and Le Coste vineyards

but this is a super-impressive wine in every way

but that does not necessarily mean that it is the first of the vineyards to be harvested

brooding and focused flavors that explode on the hugely long and deep finish

minerals and spice notes

Mullineux, Swartland Syrah Granite Vintage:2016 Ravera and Le Coste vineyardsThe 2015 Granite Syrah was matured for 18 months in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit; white pepper and touches of clove develop with aeration. The medium bodied palate offers supple tannin, slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish. This is very classy, perhaps just leaning to the powerful side of Swartland Syrah. Neal Martin
