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.

Wine Skinny

Very nice! With lush, exotic aromas and flavors that include concentrated red berry and plum fruit, waves of warm spices, and touches of game and briar that all come together nicely on the lingering finish. Medium- to full-bodied, with good tannic structure and bright acidity. Ready to drink now and over the next four years.
