Tasting notes
The 2022 Syrah Watch Hill Vineyard (95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, 15% stems) is a touch more piercing, with vibrant blue fruits (blueberries, plums), ground black pepper, violets, and scorched earth-like aromas and flavors. It too is medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and beautiful overall length. If the Roasted Slope is more Côte Rôtie, this is more Hermitage with its more structured style. Both are sensational wines.

The 2022 Roasted Slope hails from Andrew Murray's estate vineyard, Watch Hill and Nolan A classic Andrew Murray wine, the 2022 is wonderfully deep and intense. More importantly, all the elements are incredibly well balanced. Black cherry, plum, licorice, spice, new leather, incense and dried herbs run through. The inclusion of 15% stems works quite well here.
