Reviewed June 2023Fermented with 100% whole clusters, like all of the site-specific Mullineux Syrah, this is the
most intense, backward and well-structured of the trio. Serious, compact and concentrated,
it's a red that wouldn't look out of place in Cornas, with violet aromas, damson and
blackberry fruit, sturdy tannins and the freshness and focus of a cool vintage.

Tobacco and black berry fruit on the nose with some violets, olives and cracked pepper. Medium- to full-bodied with firm and very precise tannins. Mineral and focused, almost brooding. Try from 2024.

Vinous
The 2021 Syrah Granite comes from Jakkalsfontein, planted around 1996. The lovely bouquet offers white pepper and clove, opening nicely in the glass but retaining subtlety and elegance. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly powdery tannins, dark berry fruit laced with graphite and cracked black pepper. It’s quite structured toward the finish, with an exceedingly long aftertaste. Impressive. (NM)
