Red Blend - Auction Crossing - Syrah/Viognier

Made in the style of some Côte Rôtie, a percentage of Viognier grapes are macerated with the Syrah. Black cherry is very much in evidence, enlivened by pepper and spice. The rounded ripe tannins ensure that the mid palate is lush, packed with powerful fruit. The Viognier shows towards the back and this combined with a red fruit influence lightens and lengthens the finish.
