Cherubino Laissez Faire Syrah 2021.
"The 2021 Laissez Faire Syrah features a melange of clones (470, 174, 877 and Waldron) from the Riversdale vineyard in Frankland River. It was handpicked, sorted and matured in French oak barrels for 10 months. Each of the clones contributes something positive to this wine: density of tannin, darkness of fruit, lithe expression of vineyard dirt and a minty/crème de cassis quality through the finish. It is fresh and herbal, in a ferrous, bloody, purple kind of way. This is very good, and floral with notes of purple flowers—lavender, violet. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate, Aug 24, 2023
