BK Wines Cult Syrah 2010
This wine is BK's nod to Crozes-Hermitage, an homage to Crozes-Hermitage if you wish. Hand harvested, de-stemmed but whole berry. Pumped over once a day to deliver a wine of darkness with a purple rimmed edge.
Black fruits: plum, blackcurrant and a touch of liquorice present themselves with a backdrop of smoky bacon fat. Medium bodied, the fruit flows through to the palate with more of that smoky note coming through.
Excellent depth, combining fruit and pervasive spice. Excellent harmony and a wine that's a product of both place, with the deep rich black quartz soils adding to the wine; the 20% new oak (French and Hungarian) allowing the fruit to shine, the latter adding some natural spice to the equation.
