It’s seemingly unfair that Creekside can continue to make Syrah this good – and with Broken Press they’ve even added a touch of Viognier (3%) for extra depth and layering. This all Queenston Road vineyard fruit, 23% new oak of both Hungarian (23%) and French (77%) origin … Only 300 cases are produced. This wine plumbs from deep within with floral, spice and white pepper – it’s elegant and spicy while maintaining a meaty note on the backend, reminiscent of salami (cool!) … the finish continues to layer in flavour with blackberry, cassis, black cherry and an even longer linger that packs in spiced raspberry and cherry. Really good.
