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.

A long finish that shows a bit of bitter coffee.

Deep, full-bodied, and layered, this gorgeous offering should drink beautifully for 5-7 years. This is the benchmark estate for fabulous read more...
