Tasting notes
The 2019 Syrah Originals Estate is scented of red and black currants with touches of cast iron, smoked meat, citrus peel and dried flowers. The palate is chalky, fresh and easy to drink, with iron and game meat accents on the long finish.

The 2019 Syrah Originals is a powerful, earthy wine. Its more brawn than finesse with the Originals, a wine that has plenty of size and power. Game, leather, scorched earth, gravel and intense black-fleshed fruits all build. I am not convinced the Originals has the balance to truly stand on its own, but it is an intriguing wine.
The 2019 Syrah Originals offers a more cool-climate vibe in its peppery herbs, gamey meat, flowers, and black olive-driven aromatics. It hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great overall amount of texture and richness balanced by good freshness. Made from 100% Syrah that was only 50% destemmed, aged 20 months in neutral oak, this is a classic Ballard Canyon Syrah to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years or so.
