What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

Booker 06 Alchemist 90 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate A blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Cabernet Sauvignonthis is unquestionably an outstanding wine. Its deep purple color is accompanied by notes of creme de cassis, graphite, licorice, and pain grille. With super intensity, beautiful purity, an overall fleshy mouthfeel, and excellent balance, this lovely red should drink nicely for 7-8 years.
