2019 McHenry Hohnen Hazel's Vineyard Syrah, Margaret River

It seems these guys can't do any wrong at the moment. Layered, spicy, slightly reductive (in a good and engaging way), stemmy, juicy and delicious. Briney acid and red fruits. Savoury, structured and quite exciting, with the salted heirloom tomato character that so excites in shiraz/syrah. Drink to 2038.

Deep red colour with a good purple tinge. The aromas are peppery and plummy with overtones of other spices led by aniseed, while the palate is medium to full-bodied with abundant fine tannins. There's good early drinkability as well as ageing potential. Appealing balance and spicy cool-grown charm. Drink to 2034.

McHenry Hohnen was founded in 2004 by notable Perth wine retailer and hospitality name Murray McHenry and David Hohnen, winemaker and founder of Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay.

Murray planted his first vines in Margaret River in 1984 at what is now the Burnside Vineyard. The McHenry Hohnen wines are made from fruit grown in three estate vineyards in the southern part of the Margaret River: Hazel’s at Witchcliffe, Calgardup Brook in Karridale and Burnside enroute to Cowaramup. The vineyards are managed by a team led by Ben Sieber, while Soave-born Jacopo Dalli Cani is in charge back at the winery.
