Bouncy, fragrant and smart — it smells deliciously raw and pure, almost pheromonal. Raw cacao powder, blackcurrant and raspberry liquorice — the latter likely from the 28% whole-bunch. It’s giving “maybe I should just date wine” energy. The palate is mid-weighted (hence Syrah), but with plenty of structure and give. Deep black fruits, crushed ironstone and a lick of pencil lead add depth to the palate. Swinney prides itself on growing the best possible grapes and letting them lead the wine — you can see that here… And for under $50, it’s truly delicious!
