Expert Reviews
The most compact and tannic of the Mullineux trio, with the smallest berries of them all, Schist is a powerful Syrah. There’s depth and a savoury minerality to this wine, with notes of ash and graphite pencil shavings, framed by white pepper and lavender. It is a powerhouse of tannin, but they are fine and well built. A profound Syrah, sizzling with tension.
Year after year, the Schist Vineyard site gives them 20% smaller grapes than the Granite Vineyard site. The 2021 Schist Syrah is dusty and floral with elegant and powerful red and black peppercorn tones that seduce the nose. Medium-bodied, the palate reveals a fresh, herbal and savory essence that's beautifully balanced with flavors of dark cherry skin while offering a firm tannic edge. Delivering incredible mineral tension, this devastatingly gorgeous Syrah will have no trouble aging for over two decades. Bravo!
