SC Pannell is considered one of South Australia's finest red wine producers, with his Adelaide Hills Syrah produced from a vineyard in Echunga, 410 metres above sea level. Steve Pannell has worked with this vineyard since 2010 with some spectacular results; most notably collecting the 2014 Jimmy Watson Trophy with the 2013 vintage of this wine.
The 2016 SC Pannell Adelaide Hills Syrah is perfumed, vibrant and complex with prominent blackforest fruits, tapenade, all spice and dark cocoa powder notes. A typically approachable rendition of Adelaide Hills Shiraz, this has a subtle power and intensity that slowly unfurls; revealing the density that carries the palate further. Incredibly balanced and poised, this is another exceptional release from SC Pannell.
"96 Points. Hand-picked, open-fermented with 30% whole bunches, 10 months in large French oak vats and puncheons. A very smart wine. The bouquet offers a combination of black fruits and stern spices, plus a waft of oak. The medium-bodied palate seamless picks up the theme in a star dust of spicy/peppery flavours and texture. It is at once powerful, yet calmly insistent. 14% alc. Drink By: 2036 Screwcap" - James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au.
"95 Points. Deep, dark red/purple colour with a spicy, floral, gently bunchy aroma which is fresh and inviting. Some coal-dust and charcoaly notes. The wine is medium to full-bodied and packs a solid grip, all things in good balance, though. It has richness, intensity, and excellent length. A very smart red that's approachable young but will certainly age long-term."- Huon Hooke, The Real Review, March 2020.
