Mayer Yarra Valley Syrah 2017
Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaPlum, thistles, salt and cassis flow through this Yarra Valley syrah, scented with pine needles and finishing with a pop of bright acidity and a wash of fine pepper. Tannins are slight and furry, blurring into the vivid fruit. This was sourced from Bloody Hill Vineyard's broken sandstone and steep 200m elevation. Timo Mayer utilizes whole bunch and native ferment for his wines, and this spent 11 months in French hogsheads before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is an elegant, medium bodied (12.5 degrees), cool climate syrah, and a striker from Yarra.Tasted: 10 November 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $80.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
