Turon Artist Series Syrah 2018

Turon White, a young and influential winemaker in the New Wave Adelaide Hills movement, exemplifies his talent with wines like this, despite only a few vintages under his belt. Part of the Artist Series, this Adelaide Hills Syrah is as unique as the label it adorns, designed by the talented artist Kellie Em, guided by Turon's metaphoric vision. The label depicts a powerful lion. The wine itself is dark and mysterious, initially presenting salty and sultry tamari notes, which evolve into flavors of wild cherry, ripe blackberry, thorns, and hints of aging. The palate is characterized by peppery intensity, accented with eucalyptus and anise, while the tannins provide structure, although they carry a subtle softness. Despite its 14.4% alcohol content, the wine finishes on a fresh note. It's an excellent companion for grilled lamb.
