Syrah
Filter
A dark skinned, red wine grape, Syrah can be mixed with other grape types or as a varietal wine. In the mid 2000's, the variety is said to have been one of the world's most popular grape varieties, making the seventh place on the list. This popular grape variety is used to craft Shiraz wines or Syrah wines. This variety is said to have originated from two French varieties, including the Dureza variety and the Mondeuse Blanche grape type. Viognier, Shiraz-Cabernet, or Syrah red wines are typically crafted from the grape variety and are blended with other types, including Granache and Mourvedre. Rose wines are often created from the Syrah grape, along with Port wines, luscious sparkling red wines, or fortified wines.Syrah wines take exceptionally fine when age because of its high tannin level, and are superior wines when they are aged past 15 years. This extraordinary grape type crafts wines that have strong and rich notes, including hints of espresso, violet, and even subtle aromas of black pepper or berries. Depending on the climate and soil where Syrah grapes are grown, the taste can vary, and are typically strong and powerful. Since the variety grows well in warm climates, it is usually cultivated in parts of Australia, the United States, and France. In Spain and Italy, the variety is used for blending with other grape types. Syrah wines pair well with dishes including various meat dishes such as sausages, lamb, or dishes with strong herbs or black pepper.

Masseto 2020 is a wine that has embraced all the key traits of the vintage. It displays excellent concentration both in terms of colour and bouquet. They remain persistent and vivid in the glass without subsiding over time. The potency of this wine returns on the palate with beautiful length and balsamic flavours. The integrity of the tannin reveals the ageing potential typical of Masseto.
Review:
Intense and full on the nose, fragrant with ripe black fruit, floral aspects and soft spicing. Round and full on the palate, it's rich and muscular yet tight and neatly coiled with a liquorice, graphite, pepper, cinnamon and clove tang that gives this immediate but enjoyable spice. Feels well worked, juicy with high acidity that lifts the palate and gives freshness and brightness alongside really quite mouthwatering strawberry and raspberry fruit with such captivating dried floral and bitter orange rind aspects. Tannins are super fine and so well integrated yet this maintains a grip and hold from the very beginning through to a long and sustained finish. Nuanced and complex, still packing a punch in terms of power, but this feels sophisticated, suave, purposeful and controlled. Not elegant, this is more of a caged animal with it's full potential yet to be unveiled, but it is classy. A truly delicious wine with so much purity and sense of place. Malolactic fermentation in 100% new barroques, with each batch kept separate for the first 12 months of ageing before being blended and returned to barriques for another year, totaling 24 months. The wine was then aged for a further 12 months in bottle before being released.

Peju Winery Legacy Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot.
This stunning wine boasts an expressive nose that immediately captivates the senses. On the palate, the wine opens up with complex layers of dried red fruit and hints of cigar box. A subtle hint of wet stone adds a unique touch to the overall experience. The wine's medium to full body creates a beautiful balance between the fruit and tannin structure. The finish is simply divine, with a touch of cocoa dust that lingers on the palate long after the last sip.
Review:
The 2022 Peju Legacy Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged for 19 months in 40% new French and American oak, crafted by winemaker Sara Fowler. Fragrant notes of spiced plums, leather, fine cedar, and violets lift from the glass. Full-bodied, it features a framework of elongated, supple tannins, creamy black cherry fruits, dark plum jam, mocha, and a cool wet slate character on the lengthy finish.
