$53.99
The Alpha Crucis Clarendon Syrah opens with a brooding, deeply expressive nose of dark plum, crushed blackberry, and cured meat, underscored by a distinctive peppery lift that is hallmark of the Clarendon subregion of McLaren Vale. On the palate, the wine is generous and structured, with layers of black olive tapenade, smoked charcuterie, and dark chocolate weaving through a core of ripe, concentrated dark fruit. The tannins are firm yet polished, with a savory, almost meaty depth that speaks to the old-vine character of the Clarendon terroir. A thread of violets and iron-rich minerality adds elegance and complexity to what is otherwise a powerfully built wine.

Finish
The finish is long, warming, and persistently savory, with lingering notes of black pepper, graphite, and dried herbs that echo well beyond the last sip.
