Murdoch Hill Syrah 2022 6 Pack

Matt Walls - Decanter

Bright and crunchy style with a touch of smoky bacon. Fairly full and rounded, juicy style of Syrah, but dry and intense. Very fresh, very drinkable, very delicious. A cooler year so they used less whole bunch this vintage – 15-20%.

James Suckling

The nose is perfumed, with a reductive edge and aromas of wild blackberries, olive tapenade, dried herbs and cassia bark. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated acidity and tannins, giving notes of blood plums, dark cherries, cured meat and graphite. Well balanced and fresh.

Campbell Mattinson - Halliday Wine Companion

This is the perfect young syrah to drink, courtesy of the fact that it serves up fleshy fruit so generously but then splays it with nut, pepper and woodsy spice notes. It offers sweet fruit, spiciness and savouriness all in one. It combines all this with svelte texture and finishes things off with a hit of anise. Yes, please.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front

Dan Murphy’s website cites this wine as full bodied, which means someone hasn’t tasted it. A clear, red fruited, woody spiced, savoury-twiggy and game-meat laden red of just on medium weight. A sheath of lacy tannin, a blood orange and amaro squirt of brisk tang to close, the wine between go and whoa is long and detailed with spice, fruit, savoury elements and generally feels fancy enough and good. It ticks all the dictionary definition boxes of ‘syrah’, per se, and delivers easy, simple pleasure.
