Violets? Check. Peppercorns of all colours? Check. Blueberry? Check. Soft, meaty, gamey flavours make this a rather seductive and savoury syrah to be shared with all of your friends. Preferably the ones that don’t arrive empty handed and instead arrive with armloads of cheese, pate and chocolate. They are the people you should be sharing this smooth, earthy wine with. Then if someone offers to bring along five-spice, pulled pork wontons, you must write them into your will.
