Sami-Odi is a small winery in the Barossa Valley producing the smallest about of Syrah at the highest quality by winemaker Fraser McKinley. Grapes come from separate selected pots across the Barossa using organic principles and sometimes blending across barrels, sites, and vintages.
It’s thick, round and rich. A breathy number that gives warmth, fire side smoked meat, woody spices, dark choc-mint, kirsch, panforte but underlying red fruited characters in the mix too. Tannins round, grippy and gravelly at once, pronounced in depth, pucker and chew. Chocolatey overall, an off beat porty feel but savoury, meaty, indeed, and yet feels like fine detail creeps out as you pause and reflect. Hearty stuff, but with judicious balance. It feels like the thimble fulls of older wine deliver now a nuance of richness, savouriness, dried fruit and nut depth. Complexity writ large.
