Coates 'The Syrah' syrah 2021 Vermentino get past the Russian oligarchsA masterclass by Duane Coates MW in how to produce quality McLaren Vale syrah at a truly astonishing price. Dunno how he does it, but very glad that he does! This has enough weight to go with any steak, but also has some subtle detailing that make it really interesting.
