Luke Lambert is one of the Yarra Valley's leading craftsman, and his Syrah seems to get better and better. Made in small quantities with minimal intervention, this chameleon-like wine opens with juicy blueberry fruit, violets, cinnamon, cumin and streaks of minerals. The palate is beautifully textured: silky yet crackling with acidity and spicy, taut, superfocused tannins. There's both power and finesse here, and a purity that is hard to achieve without meticulous farming and winemaking. In short, a sexy wine that can be drunk now or matured until 2029—at least.
