Winewise Review: Volume 26 Number 6 February 2011 Page 29
Adam Foster and 2008 L’Imposteur Vin de Pays d’Or Grenache appear in the new Discoveries Section of Winewise wine reviews.
Adam Foster:
Adam judges with us at the Small Vigneron Awards, and has become a serious player at the top end of Heathcote Shiraz with his Syrahmi brand. He also does vintage in France, and has made a delicious grenache.
2008 L’Imposteur Vin de Pays d’Or Grenache: current Winewise wine review received Highly Recommended score.
It delivers all the richness expected of south-0f–France wines together with raspberry, plum, black truffle and earthy hints. The tannins are very supple, inviting immediate drinking.

Winewise Review: 2009 Syrahmi Climat Heathcote Shiraz
Winewise Review: Volume 26 Number 6 February,2011 page 3
Shiraz : The top dozen or so wines show what can be done with shiraz in a wide range of environments. Towards the bottom there are far too many dull, advanced wines.
2009 Syrahmi Climat Heathcote Shiraz – current Winewise wine review received Highly Recommended score.
A very intriguing, complex style with more than a hint of northern Rhône about it. The vibrant red berry/spice aromas are enhanced by a hint of black olive.
The savoury tannins complement the lovely fruit expression. Read more
L’Imposteur in Rite-Of-Passage at The Weekly Review
Syrahmi L’Imposteur 2008 features in Rite-Of-Passage by Ben Thomas at The Weekly Review.
Working a vintage overseas during the Australian off-season is a rite of passage for many young winemakers.
If you ask a winemaker about his or her biggest influences, many will tell you it was a vintage worked in the vineyards of France or Spain or Italy. Lost-in-translation moments, forgotten skills and techniques and uncovering new wine styles contribute to a winemaker’s identity and steer a course for the future.

Ben’s Review
Syrahmi L’Imposteur 2008
(Vin de Pays d’OC, France) $45; 14%
4.5/5
In 2008, former sommelier Adam Foster was given the chance to make his own wines from 60-year-old bush grenache vines from the Banyuls region in southern France. It smells of raspberries, cherries, plums, dried herbs and a hint of cedar oak. It’s light on its feet and well balanced, with fine, silky tannins and bright acid balancing out complex sour cherry, raspberry, nuts, earthy and meaty flavours. All this, plus a persistent finish, makes it a joy to drink.
