2016 Onkaparinga Syrah Reviews

“Côte Rôtie-like white pepper, salted meat, dried flowers, and both red and black fruits emerge from the 2016 Syrah Onkaparinga Vineyard, another vibrant, complex, singular wine in the lineup. It has a more cool climate- like vibe as well as complexity, yet it still bring beautiful depth and richness, ripe, silky tannins, and one heck of a great finish. It’s going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age, but it’s drinking incredibly well today with a decant and, as with the other Syrahs here, promises a solid two decades of longevity.” 97/100 Jeb Dunnuck

 

“Ironstone and shale on a west-facing site that overlooks Onkaparinga Gorge. The nose has black olives as well as intense white pepper and some young, meaty notes across ripe blood plums, black cherries and licorice. The palate has such smooth, long, licoricy fruit flavors, together with plum pudding, some raisins and black-fruit paste. Really intense, long and spicy palate. The tannins are smooth, yet dense. Wow. Try from 2024.” 97/100 James Suckling

 

2011 Onkaparinga Syrah Reviews

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2011 Onkaparinga Syrah offers pronounced notes of crushed blackberries, mulberries and black pepper with nuances of cloves and tree bark. Medium to full-bodied, it is elegantly fruited in the mouth, with just enough flesh to match the medium-level grainy tannins and balanced acid, and finishes with very good length. Drink it 2015 to 2025+. Lisa Perotti Brown MW Wine Advocate 91+/100

 

2006 Onkaparinga Syrah Reviews

“The 2006 Syrah Onkaparinga is Cote-Rotie-like with its splendid perfume of bacon, grilled meat and supple texture. This may be the sexiest of the Syrah offerings, one which will have a wide window of peak drinking. ” 94/100 Wine Advocate
