Reserve

2003 Mclaren Vale Syrah

The 2003 Geoff Merrill Reserve Syrah from the Mclaren Vale region is a remarkable red wine that showcases the lush and full-bodied characteristics of the varietal. Its deep ruby hue invites you in, hinting at the richness that awaits. On the palate, this wine exhibits a high level of acidity, which brings a bright and lively quality that beautifully balances the wine’s intensity. The fruit-forward profile is pronounced, offering delightful notes of dark berries, blackcurrant, and layers of spice that add complexity. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth, while the wine remains pleasantly dry, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. This elegant Syrah truly captures the essence of Mclaren Vale's terroir, leaving a lasting impression with every sip.
