Dark, rustic red in color. Initial nose of candied nuts, berries and cedar. Forward palette was softer than expected with dark berry. Very little peppery spice. More of a baking spice. Smooth tannin finish. Lingered big vanilla bean flavors for me. Paired braised short ribs and polenta. A good drinking Syrah especially for beginners. I prefer a little more peppery earthiness in syrahs. But a good bargain for the price

A steal. Dark chocolate, over-ripe red fruits, sea salt, woodsy. I feel like I’m in the PNW forest.
