A benchmark New World Syrah from the stony soils of Gimblett Gravels, the 2011 Le Sol shows both power and elegance with over a decade of development. Aromas of blackberry, black plum, and cassis are layered with cracked pepper, smoked meat, violet, and graphite.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully structured, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity keeping the dark fruit lifted and precise. Savory spice and mineral notes carry through a long, refined finish. Now entering a graceful drinking window, it balances richness with Rhône-like restraint and complexity.
