Acidity is medium, tanins are medium, silky and well-integrated into structure. Medium body, pronounced flavor of black pepper, ripe strawberries, blackberry, touch of vanilla. Long finish. Extremely fresh and elegant expression of Syrah, very good wine.

Jun 30th, 2018I'd never heard of this producer and was a bit apprehensive.. what style would it be? Lots of new oak? Over extracted? All in all quite a pleasant surprise.
