Although it may sound a bit left-of-field, the syrah/pinot blend has actually been a part of the Australian wine landscape since at least the 1940s and 50s. The two grapes simply compliment each other and seamlessly weave together to create a light, dry wine with a beautifully inviting palate and tremendous length. This wine absolutely falls into the 'dangerous' category, fresh and friendly enough to open at any hour of the day or night but powerful enough to enjoy with food, the kind of drop that seems to just disappear from the cellar. Combining the texture and 'prettiness' of pinot noir with a distinctly syrah driven dark fruit and violet characteristics. If you're looking for a red to chuck in the fridge over summer then look no further, this is about as versatile as red wine gets.
