"A floral syrah with the fresh scent of sorrel and dark woodland berries, this wine has an intriguing combination of tension and openness. The power and intensity of its flavors come through with lovely textural grace, sexy and delicious."
Winemaker Notes:
"This Syrah opens with classic-cool climate aromatics. The first impression is lightly smoked bacon, earth and savory spices. A core of dark fruit follows and holds the wine together without overstepping. it's complex and elegant. Then there's a tart blackberry foundation that runs from start to finish and is a reminder that this wine is grown in a cool site.
It has medium viscosity and finishes with notable, just-strong-enough tannins that lengthen the finish and pull for the next sip. With just enough of everything tightly balanced together, the wine shows its seriousness and the potential to age well. It should develop in the bottle for the next five (or more) years."
Alcohol: 14.3%
