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

This Syrah abounds in big, jammy aromas; lots of cherry and wild plum, with notes of sweet smoke, intermingling with baking spices (clove, nutmeg) and just a hint of earthy wild sage character adds complexity to this full bodied wine. The entry is bright with juicy fruit flavors, the fresh cherry character continues to swell as the vanilla and spice notes drift in the background. soft and silky throughout the palate impression, the lingering flavors are of intense raspberry and cherry jam.
