Innocent Bystander Syrah is a bold Australian red that balances depth with approachability. Aromas of dark berries and pepper lead to a palate of blackberry, plum, and spice, supported by subtle French oak and velvety tannins. Pairs well with grilled lamb, ribeye, and mushroom dishes; enjoyable now with a brief decant, and has cellar potential for a few years.
