Sutton Grange Syrah 2006
- Region Bendigo, VIC
- Type Red
- Size 750ml
- Alcohol 14%
A poised, brooding Syrah that opens with lacquered blue and blackberries and eventually fades with cocoa-dusted tannins that are unapologetic and biscuity. A glamorous, Sangiovese-like middle of aniseed, liquorish, black pepper and sour cherries gives this wine an Italian soul, as does the powdery, food-wanting mouth-feel and lively, Piedmont-like, forest-leaf acidity. A stubbornly ‘natural’ product that speaks of its agricultural essence, with a satisfying, truthful mustiness and a seriously drawn-out, savoury herbal finish. Throws a hell of a crust for its relatively modest age and is perhaps but a meek preview of its very cellarable self. - NT

Jeremy Oliver
says:Complex, savoury and powerful, with dark, meaty and slightly herbal-edged fruit framed by a firm, powdery extract of drying tannin. It’s dusty bouquet of blackberries, dark plums and slightly herbal whole bunch characters reveals a hint of Bovril, while its earthy palate of dark red and black berry flavours overlies and assertive meaty, leathery presence. It’s long and savoury, with drive and balance.
James Halliday
says:Good concentration of dark fruit, with a distinct leathery, savoury edge to the bouquet; the palate is quite firm and dry, with plenty of volume and a hint of bay leaf on the finish.
