Passel Estate Lot 71 Reserve Syrah 2017

Syrah proved to be a standout variety in this very long and cool Margaret River vintage. Using the term Syrah certainly suits the style and weight of this wine. It has a degree of elegance and poise with a fine, grainy texture. I like the understated oak influence which is the result of maturation in larger format French oak. Spicy, dried herbs appear on the nose and palate. A nice alternative to the bigger style of Shiraz and showing the versatility of the variety in Margaret River.
