Beautiful, very deep, dark ruby color. Strong nose of blackberries, plums, raisins and spices.

Smooth on the attack with lots of black pepper. Bold and full bodied in structure.

Dry and fruity on the mid palate with dark berries, plums, blackberries, dark chocolate, vanilla and black pepper. Hugh, chewy tannins on the finish with cherries and boysenberry.

You have to appreciate tannins to like this wine. I really did. This 100% Petite Syrah was aged in American oak barrels for 16 months. 13.9% alcohol by volume.
