Subtly perfumed, this graceful Syrah smells of black pepper and charcoal briquettes. It is a classic whiff from a Syrah! Smooth and creamy tannins envelop the full-bodied yet well-carried palate on the flavorful attack. Lifting acidity gently ignites the palate and gives the blackberry and cassis flavors steady length. Though hailing from a warm year (the warmest on record at the time), with a small and concentrated crop, this wine is beautifully harmonious in the glass!
