Foothills Vineyards Syrah 2020

Deep ruby colour. First impression is of spice, some freshly ground pepper, prosciutto, hint of scrub, then the fruit emerges, dark plums and cherries, perfectly ripe. There’s a lovely combination of fruit and savoury, gets the balance right, showcasing the variety without becoming showy or brash. The texture is plush, smooth and round, luscious, a wine very easy to like. The finish is long, packed with flavour, could handle rich dishes like casseroles, spicy meat dishes.
