The beauty of Syrah is that so many expressions can be found in so many different places in the world. Red Mountain is one of the top players thanks to the mineral profile it adds, and in the case of this wine, it plays well off supper ripe berry fruit and smoky oak tones, finishing long and fully integrated. Drink now with something big – wild boar, if you have access, would be perfect.
