Tasting notes
The 2005 Syrah Onkaparinga delivers scents of toasty oak, crushed rock, pencil lead, game, bacon, and blueberry. Voluptuous but impeccably balanced, it has enough structure to evolve for 8-10 years and should drink well through 2030. Importer: E. & J. Gallo Winery, Modesto, CA; www.clarendonhills.com.au
