Salomon, Syrah-V 'Wildflower', Adelaide, Australia, 750ml

Opaque core into a deep ruby rim. Very fragrant nose of violets, raspberries and white pepper spices. That fragrance carries onto the palate with florals, bright fruits and underlying iodine and blood sausage notes. With all that flavor intensity it still sits as medium-bodied, with powdery tannins and a spritz of acidity. Great length.

Harvest in March 2019. Syrah and 4% Viognier co-fermented in open fermenters for 12 days, then into barrels, aged for 14 months in 300-liter hogsheads, French oak, approx. 10% new oak, bottled in October 2020.
