Can Kate Radburnd and her crack-team of winemakers do no wrong?  This Gimblett Gravels pioneer producer has syrah expertly sewn up, crafting an ultra-bright, intensely aromatic example, which oozes fruitwood smoke, cracked pepper, rose and violet notes alongside an underlying earthy character on the nose.  Flavour-wise it boasts juicy dark fruit, vanilla and cocoa, tannins with grip and chew and a long, warming finish.  It’s an incredibly satisfying, drink now style that’s brilliant with chilli con carne.
