Description
The 2020 Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah showcases a rich flavor profile characterized by dark berries, plum, and hints of spice, supported by well-integrated tannins. It hails from the Frankland River region in Western Australia, known for its cool climate and unique terroir that enhance the complexity of Syrah wines. It pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and mature cheeses. Allowing the wine to breathe for 30 minutes before consuming can further enhance its aromas and flavors.
Expert Reviews
“The 2020 Isolation Ridge Syrah leads with lashings of rose petals and loads of red and purple fruits. It is altogether denser and bigger than the wines that have come before it. But I find this does not come at the expense of the tannins, which are chewy, pliable and substantial. It is chalky and fine but significant, with ferrous grip. The rose petals are laced through the finish as well, and they have a real garden rose, wet-from-the-rain character. Drink Date: 2024 – 2040” – Erin Larkin Review Date: November 2024
“Aromas of wild brambleberries, blackcurrants, raspberries and redcurrants. Some pepper and plenty of spice, too. This is fresh, vivid and strongly primary. The palate has a focused, juicy stance, with fine, powdery tannins cast through red and black berries. Medium-bodied, fleshy and smooth. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” Review Date: July 2022
