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

Slurpably good, with ripe cherry and cola flavors that pick up a kick of black pepper and shot of juicy acidity on the finish. Ready to drink now.

This is a absolutely uncanny wine, for less than 20 bucks! Pour a half glass let the rest of the bottle decant openned (in bottle) for 3hrs before planned drinking.You'll thenfind thick aromas of currant, ripe berries,and what seems
to be balanced burnt caramel or butterscotch.Taste dense, balanced tanins big rich ripe berries and again a thick jammy slightly burnt rasionus,earthy note.I've tried others...this one for its price,always outshines.
