Pannell's 2016 Syrah (sourced from the Adelaide Hills) is a medium to full-bodied effort, loaded with blueberry-blackberry fruit. Almost a third was fermented whole-cluster, but it's hardly noticeable, imparting just a light sprinkling of dried flower petals and spice to the mix. Likewise, the oak is almost sub-threshold, dusting the surface with hints of cinnamon and clove. It's a luscious combination, finished off with savory notes of black olive and espresso on the long finish.
