2022 Mac Forbes Syrah, Yarra Valley, Australia

Sale price$35.99

Mac Forbes approaches Syrah with the same cool-climate precision that has made him one of the Yarra Valley’s benchmark producers, favoring freshness, perfume, and restraint over the richer style often associated with Australian Shiraz. The 2022 comes from two parcels harvested at different ripeness levels, with a portion fermented as whole bunches, then aged for 10 months in seasoned oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Violet, blackberry, red plum, mountain herbs, and peppery spice lead into a vibrant, medium-bodied palate framed by silky tannins, juicy acidity, and a long savory finish.
