Murdoch Hill Orion Syrah 2021 etna-doc Blend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon95 POINTS MIke Bennie, The Wine Front "A parcel of fruit from a single plot came through that looked strong from the get go, and hence this wine was released.

Sloshes into the palate with concentration but a laciness, levity, and yet tightens on a web of fine, graphite laced tannins. Dark plum to taste, smoked paprika, game meat, dried herbs. Serious syrah
