Swift Wines Syrah 2020

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Young, fresh and vibrant bouquet with aromas of boysenberry and plum, raspberry and wild forest berries. A violet and spice layer with some spicy wood nuances add complexity. There’s a mix of fruit and savoury spices layers on the palate, plenty of acidity and firm youthful tannins for mouthfeel and foundation. Flavours mirror the bouquet to present a vital and enticing wine ready for drinking from mid to late 2022 through 2029."

Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Full, deep ruby-red with a black core, lighter on the rim. The wine has depth and concentration, filled the glass with violet, black peppercorn entwined with some dark herbs, underlying red plums and blackcurrants. Medium-full bodied, focused aromas of red and black plums melded with blackcurrants, violet, unfolding wet leaf, black peppercorn and a hint of tar. The palate is smooth, with firm, gravelly mineral tannins, leaves a drying, herbaceous mouthfeel. The fruit is just ripe with balanced, lacy acidity carries violet and tar to a fragrant, lengthy finish. Match with herb-crusted lamb and rose veal over the next 5 years."

The winery writes "The 2020 growing season was long with warm days and cool nights, allowing for natural acidity, giving this wine elegance, poise and great of fruit concentration."
