The cellar — Wingman

Wingman: the Syrah that stays out of your way.

A light-bodied summer red from a vintage that never quite finished. It is fine. That is the entire point.

Not every Syrah needs to turn up in a tux. The 2022 fruit was okay, the weather had other plans, and what came out the other side is a light-bodied red with just enough fruit and no long finish to speak of. Wingman is for Kraft mac and cheese on a Tuesday, taco night, or a Big Mac you are not apologising for. It makes everything better without stealing the show — which is exactly what a good wingman does.

More on this one is coming. In the meantime, see what's pouring in the cellar.
