The colour is bright and intensely luminous with hues of crimson red and purple. A soft and generously well rounded syrah made in the increasingly more common cool climate style with less overt tannin and extract but still with delicious succulent fruit flavours. Spicy plum on the nose with a floral lift showing a hint of licorice. The palate is smooth and seamlessly structured with its medium body supported by chalky tannins and a little oak. Finishes dry.

His first articles were published in the early issues of national wine magazine Winestate in the late 1970s when he worked in Sydney as a newspaper correspondent. From 1989 Ray wrote more than 3000 columns as a regular newspaper wine columnist. He currently writes a regular column for the special business publication Business News and is one of the main contributors to national wine platform Wine Pilot.

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
