Frankland Estate Isolation Syrah 2023

In their words - A beautiful electric purple colour is matched by an equally bright, engaging perfume that somehow smells glossy. There are notes of blue flowers, cherry pit, stone fruit kernel, red cherry, satsuma plum and black olive. It has a glistening, silky texture on entry, with iron and graphite wrapped around firm, ripe red and black fruit. There’s energy and reach to its long-flowing juice, and savoury notes ripple through a gorgeous back palate. Silken ribbons of tannin then show a pumice-like authority on a finish that rings with peachy
muscat, violet and tarragon tones. The cool season has yielded a Syrah whose charm belies layers of flavour that roil and unfurl with time in the glass.

 

3500 L French Foudre for 13 months

Co-fermented Syrah 98%,Viognier 2%. 15% Whole Bunch

Critics thoughts -  There’s a lot of detail and delight with this savoury syrah, a 1.5% splash of viognier and 3.5% glug of mourvèdre also in the mix, with 5% whole bunches, then aged 14 months in French oak foudres plus puncheons. The tannins are key – they are shapely, plush, almost velvety, and augmented by aromas/flavours of dark fruit, warm spice, ferrous notes and gun smoke. Fuller bodied without feeling weighty, and the finish is long. 96 Points Stuart Pigott jamessuckling.com

Between the 15% whole bunch and the garnish of 2% Viognier, the aromatics are stoooooon’n! This wine is confident in her own skin and commands respect wherever she goes. Plum juice, red liquorice and vanilla. I want to protect this wine. Nurture it. Love it. The intense sweetness of fruit, is complimented by small framed, Velcro-like-tannins and encouraged by the 13 months spent in 3500-litre French oak foudre. Medium bodied. Doesn’t need food. Drinking beautifully in its current window of youth. The finish is clean, fresh and sharp—yet the fruit carries effortlessly through the length, with blood orange, Canadian mountains and rose petals. Chic and stylish—this wine drives a 1959 Cadillac.  95 points Cyndal Petty Winepilot.com
