Walsh & Sons 2020 Felix Syrah (Margaret River)

This pint-size Margaret River winery, known for characterful yet clean minimal-intervention wines with downright adorable labels, has nailed the “Felix” style. It's a wine more for the stomach than the head, made for drinking with a wide variety of rustic food. Brightness, elegance and power combine via a bouquet of high-toned red and blueberry fruit, dried flower, tomato leaf, savory herbs and spice, with a ferrous streak. Medium weight, the slinky, juicy fruit is cinched by talc-like tannins. Drink now and over the next few years. Christina Pickard
