Covert Estate 2021 Coombsville Massale Selection Syrah

This third release of Covert Massale Selection Syrah compels the attention with primal charisma and sleek textures. Brooding aromas of cured meat, wild game, and volcanic rock swirl intertwined with ripe huckleberries and the richness of bacon fat. The palate spotlights gorgeous red cherry, raspberry, and dark blueberry notes, accompanied by spicy white pepper and juniper along a thrumming, mineral-rich bass line. Pitch-perfect red fruit acidity brings a lovely silken energy, while ultrafine, suede-like tannins offer elegant structure and longevity. The finish lingers languorously on high-toned red and blue fruits, black tea, and orange zest.
