Brookdale Estate Mason Road Syrah 2022
Rich and velvety, this delicious Syrah has spice, mulberries and olive tapenade with a hint of night flowers from the glass aromas. Dripping in ripe redcurrants, the palate is succulent and flows with a gentle, blood orange acidity. There’s but a touch of cherry cola, whipped away in a cloud of fresh black pepper. Barely-there svelte tannins seam to a well-balanced, and neatly dry finish.
