It has been a goal of mine for some time to produce an “all Syrah” quarter of the Reserve Club and the stars have finally aligned. While there is no shortage of Syrah, finding the right mix is a challenge. Unlike Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, which have very consistent varietal signatures, Syrah is far more diverse in the way it smells and tastes depending on growing conditions. To properly present a diverse range of examples it has taken some work but I am delighted with this mix. They show the incredible range this variety can display in color, aroma, texture and structure which is why the grape is considered a noble red variety. I hope you find these selections exciting and they encourage you to explore the category.
