Wine Expert Note:

This Andrew Murray Vineyards Watch Hill Vineyard Syrah is a highly expressive and complex wine. On the nose, notes of blackberry and bramble are complemented by an intriguing mix of white pepper and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a velvety texture and flavors of dark berries, black pepper, and a hint of smoked meat. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of cracked black pepper and roasted coffee beans. Enjoyable now, this wine will also age gracefully for many years to come.
