This Syrah comes from the east-facing Close Planted Block at the Coldstream home vineyard, established at 5,200 vines per hectare on grey alluvial loams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021’s long, cool season delivered beautifully balanced fruit, picked at modest ripeness to capture freshness and detail. A mix of whole bunches (30%) and destemmed berries were wild-fermented and matured for 14 months in French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright purple in the glass, it opens with blue and purple fruits, black olive and peppery spice. The palate is medium-bodied and even, with supple tannins and a subtle acid line giving shape and persistence. It’s a clear, unforced expression of Yarra Valley Syrah, showing the precision and restraint that have become Dave Bicknell’s hallmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The superb colour is no surprise, nor is the perfume and sheer elegance of the wine in the mouth. Black cherries, black peppercorns and spices have quicksilver energy and speed. It only just makes the medium-bodied scale but will live for decades thanks to its perfect balance.\"\u003cbr\u003e- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Oakridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141730611572,"sku":"zkk1789956854848","price":45.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2021-oakridge-864-close-planted-block-syrah_1.png?v=1789956857","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2021-oakridge-864-close-planted-block-syrah","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
