2014 Terre Rouge Sentinel Oak Vineyard Pyramid Block Syrah [WE93]

"This bold, spicy, well-structured makes a big impact on the palate. Cedar, clove and black pepper aromas lead to rich, ripe blackberry and dried plum flavors, while firm tannins and good acidity lend both grip and texture. Known to age well, this wine will be best after 2022. Cellar Selection." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The wine is dark in color with a dense, deep-concentrated layered fruit aromas that are incredibly spicy. In the mouth you’ll find incredibly concentrated framboise flavors, smoky wood tones, and fine tannins. Meaty. This is always one of our most powerful Syrah’'s, as it has great structure, and definite age worthiness. It has macerated for two weeks in an open-top fermenter with punch-downs two to three times a day. Aged for 23 months in 100% French oak (33% new François Frères) and lightly egg-white fined prior to being bottled unfiltered."
