Bright red fruit, fennel on the nose. Nice minerality, balanced wine with hints of savory herbs and tobacco.

Round and dark fruited, this is clearly California, but Cali through a northern Rhone lens. A touch of Brett is a welcome and not intrusive addition, solidifying the old world sensibility

While there is nice fruit here, on balance this more about the earth and leather and messy and pepper side of Syrah. Not quite as angular as it's northern Rhone cousins, but shares a kinship.
