Squawking Magpie Stoned Crow Syrah 2019

The winery writes "An iconic single vineyard syrah. Handpicked grapes carefully selected, aged in new and older French oak barrels for 20 months delivering a wine that is dark and very concentrated. With peppery and toasted oak characters the wine is seamless with a smooth and very long finish."

Andrew Caillard writes "Medium deep crimson. Fragrant redcurrunt, cranberry, pepper, sage, dried herb aromas with underlying mocha notes. Supple sweet cranberry, recurrant, raspberry fruits with some blackberry, brambly notes, peppery nuances, plentiful fine sinewy long and refined tannins, some savoury roasted walnut, light marzipan notes. A fresh chalky finish with persistent juicy fruits. The barrel maturation characters and mid-palate viscosity really distinguish this wine."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Exuberant, youthful, varietal and floral bouquet, Aromas of boysenberry and black currant, dark raspberry and sweet spicy scents of oak. There’s some peppery moments though the dry spice and earthy qualities melt all together in complexity. Firm and dry on the palate with a core of dark berry flavours that reflect the bouquet, a firm youthful structure from wood and toasty spices and a back bone of acidity - both highlighting some varietal peppercorn notes. Delicious, fresh, youthful, complex and well made."
