Tasting notes

Neal Martin · Vinous · 95

The 2021 Syrah Iron probably has the most nuanced bouquet - very cohesive with intense blackberry, blueberry and white pepper scents, the most backward of the three single vineyard sites. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins and a keen thread of acidity, but real structure and density, layers of mineral-rich black fruit laced with black pepper and graphite towards the finish. Superb.

Anthony Mueller · Wine Advocate · 94

Bursting with a fresh and juicy nose, the 2021 Iron Syrah is ripe with red-fruited elements of dark cherry and spiced red plum before showing a delicate, rocky essence that sways with notes of turned earth and red peppercorn. Medium to full-bodied, the palate clamps down with firm tannins that grow across the gum line and will need some time but still serve as a testament that this beautiful Syrah has plenty of life left to give. Nicely done!

There’s more of the savoury olive and peppercorn character here, with blackcurrants and grilled herbs too. Silky and very fine tannins, medium to full body, with a caressing, long and delicious finish.
