Innocent Bystander
Yarra Valley Syrah
Dark violet. Oak-spiced black raspberry and floral scents take on suggestions of woodsmoke and licorice with air. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering subtly sweet, spice-tinged red berry and cherry flavors that slowly flesh out through the midpalate. Gently gripping tannins frame the finish, which hangs on with very good, spicy tenacity. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2022)
