"The 2021 Syrah is a haunting, glowing crimson in the glass. I love the tannins here—they’re so good that they compel me to look beyond the fruit and to the structure, which is a rare occurrence. There are notes of pink peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorn, and the fruit has purity, clarity and a supple flow through the mouth. The tension through the finish makes this wine a superb example of Australian Syrah. It is mineral and structured, devoid of heavy oak impact and layered with ductile tannins, supple fruit and spice." - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
"Deep red-purple with a meaty reductive note overlying spices and black cherry to blueberry aromas, the palate supple and smoothly fleshy, medium to full bodied and elegantly styled, very approachable now and with good potential for aging. This is a ripping Shiraz, nearly as good as the 2020 Farvie" - Huon Hooke
"There is no question that this vineyard and the style being crafted under one of Australia's finest winemakers, Rob Mann, have redefined Syrah and Grenache. These are now the established benchmarks and should be on the buy-now list for anyone with an interest in contemporary Australian wine" - Ray Jordan, The West Australian
"For Swinney winemaker, Rob Mann, 2021 was a near-perfect year for Syrah resulting in a sensational and deeply scented wine that effortlessly fuses power and finesse, nuance, subtlety and texture. Our aim is always to celebrate the season in the wine and the 2021 Syrah is a great example of this philosophy" - Swinney
