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.

Fruity on the nose with a spicy, fudgy character to the roasted plum fruit. A nice dose of oak seems to be playing in the background with vanilla and warm mulling spice tones. A bit lean with some nice mineral detail up front then turning a touch meaty on the mid-palate with a moderate amount of dark, plum and prune toned fruits, even dates. A rather dark wine with those notes carrying through on the finish. The acidity seems a bit unintegrated across the palate and on to the short finish. Screwcap 83pts

Raspberry, blueberry, and mango treats are dancing in this wine. A sweet celebration in your mouth. Some citric acid and underdeveloped tannins, and it seems to fade quickly.

Rich dark bloody nose. Full bodied dark fruits in the mouth with mild pepper and a gentile finish. A great wine for the price.

Sugary sweet, hot nose. Flavors are tart, overextracted with overly jammy fruitiness.
