2018 "Fred" Estate Syrah

94 points
- Jeb Dunnuck
Similarly purple-hued, the 2018 Syrah Estate Fred was not destemmed and was also brought up all in neutral barrels. A wonderfully complex, balanced wine, with notes of blackcurrants, blueberries, lavender, pepper, and hints of scrub brush, it hits the palate with medium to full body, a ripe, rounded, supple texture, beautiful purity, and a great finish. It’s a little gem of a Syrah to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years. -Jeb Dunnuck
