Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2008 The Governor Syrah is youthfully restrained and a little reduced to begin, giving way to aromas of warm blackberries, crushed blueberries over dark chocolate, earth, tar and a whiff of vanilla. Full bodied and concentrated with taut, muscular fruit, it has a solid foundation of medium to firm level fine-grained tannins and crisp acid, finishing long. Consider drinking it 2013 to 2021+. During my visit to McLaren Vale, I tasted a small vertical of Aramis’ The Governor Syrah with the winery’s managing director, Lee Flourentzou. The Aramis vineyard is in Willunga, a relatively cool climate pocket just 1.5 miles from the ocean. The wines are now made by the highly skilled winemaker at Chapel Hill, Michael Fragos. Only 300-400 cases of the winery’s flagship, The Governor, are made every year.Importer: John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection; www.tapwc.com.au
