A robust, jammy Syrah from the central coast. Blackberry, black pepper, violet, and smoked meat. Robust tannins.

Dark color. Berries and spice. Meaty mouthfeel some heat on the finish.

On a trip to CA I visited Fess Parker. Deep red with aromas of dark berry fruit, big full scents. On the palate blackberry, cherry and plum with smoky pepper spice. Well balanced medium finish ending with earthy notes. Tasting Sample.

2012 vintage. Pleasant enough syrah with a dark hue and notes of smoky meat, savory herb and thick, brambly bushes. Have this one when you grill or with burgers in general and it won't be out of place.
