The Tablas Creek Syrah comes from their Adelaida District estate. It's elegant, charming, and medium-bodied, with impressive chiselled minerality. Its aromatic display includes bright, sweet red berries, dried lavender, crushed stone minerals, and a smoky hint of rose petals. The palate is lithe, fresh, and loaded with finesse: red bramble fruits, dried mountain herbs, iron ore and stone mineral core. It is distinguished and delicious, and frankly, for $55, it punches way above its weight class. (CP)
