Luke Lambert Syrah 2017
Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaMassive cracked peppercorns course through the entire flow of this medium bodied, syrah from Yarra. Dusky blueberry, cassis, plum intermingled with shepherds pie meatiness and softly grippy, structural tannins frame the duck down palate. The finish is lingering, salty, moreish. This is sourced from one of the coolest areas of Yarra, the south-west sloping Tibooburra Vineyard, and has one of the most interesting soil cocktails of the region : black volcanic topsoil over yellow clay with a smattering of granite within. This was wild fermented, aged in neutral, very large format oak, and 80 percent whole bunch fermented, with the wine left unsulphured until just bottling, unfined and unfiltered. This wine grows with time, both in the glass, and in the bottle (if you can wait).Tasted: 08 November 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $60.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
