Woah Nelly!!  How’s about the whoomph of clove, cinnamon, currants and cocoa on the nose?  It’s an aromatic colossus, and one I couldn’t stop sniffing.  But once you do you’ll note that it’s incredibly juicy and fleshy for a young wine.  I love the onslaught of blackcurrant, peppercorn and graphite goodness in this coastal-grown syrah. Clearview’s winemaking team have created a really impressive, warming, fleshy wine right here.

Sip with: chunky beef stew.
