this block of vines is located right across from the Block 1 Merlot

This is more refined than prior versions from Bernard Moreau were but that may be simply a reflection of the innate refinement of the 2021 vintage

it delivers a good core of black fruit on the palate

clean and moderately dry finale

elegant wine that showcases the brand's home estate in the Adelaide suburbs

Donelan, Obsidian Syrah Vintage:2013 this block of vines isMedium to deep garnet in color, the 2013 Syrah Obsidian Vineyard is very savory on the nose with notions of smoked meats, truffles, pepper and sauted herbs with a beautiful floral background of lilacs and roses plus touches of forest floor and espresso. The palate is full bodied, rich, concentrated and opulent with firm, rounded tannins and great freshness, finishing very long. Wow!
