The 2017 Long Shadows Sequel Syrah is a powerful and richly layered Washington State Syrah crafted by legendary winemaker John Duval, formerly of Penfolds Grange. Deep and inky in colour, it reveals intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry and cassis layered with black olive tapenade, smoked meat, violet, dark chocolate and cracked pepper spice.
On the palate is full-bodied and concentrated, showing silky yet structured tannins, vibrant dark fruit and savoury complexity balanced by impressive freshness and a long, refined finish. The style is bold yet polished, combining New World richness with Rhône-inspired elegance and structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Syrah for customers who love powerful yet balanced reds with serious depth and ageing potential. It offers the richness of top Australian Shiraz with the savoury finesse of Northern Rhône Syrah. Perfect with grilled ribeye, slow-cooked lamb, smoked meats or winter dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar beautifully over the next 8–12 years.
