Yes, this bottle does say “Syrah” on the label instead of “Shiraz” as usual in Australia, and it is appropriate here for stylistic reasons. The regional tell here is notable from the relatively cool Adelaide Hills, with a focus is on the savory side of the grape variety, with black and blue berry fruit and a little tar and pepper joining in. Beautifully executed wine.
