Wine Advocate, 90 Points 

“...It's slightly peppery and savory, then blends in ripemulberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's soft, plushand creamy in texture, making it easy to drink nowand over the next five years or so.” 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

“Fresh, featuring accents of cumin and star anise to thewild strawberry and pomegranate flavors at the core.Supple and creamy, with fresh acidity. A note of caramellingers on the finish. Drink now through 2034.”

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

“This vintage is a blend of two regions, but going forwardall fruit will be from the Adelaide Hills. A rich nose ofraspberry, rhubarb compote, black currant cordial,flowers and cola lead to a supple and relativelyapproachable palate. It is woven with soft but supportivetannins, plummy fruit and spicy oak..” 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2017 H Syrah is deep red with bright purple hues. It is perfumed with violet florals, rhubarb and cherry. Fruit forward with fine tannins and flavors of pomegranate, cardamom and satsuma plum on the palate, this wine is delicate in texture and elegant in structure."
