Ben Haines Firelights Syrah

Dark, deep garnet in colour with deep purple hues. The bouquet shows aromas that are meaty and savoury, this is surprisingly full-bodied and supple for a Yarra Valley Syrah. The palate brings blackberry and spice notes which balance out the meatiness, imparting a bright, mouth-watering fruit intensity with pepper and spice and earthy graphite to a long and persistent finish.
