Castagnino Cortona Syrah

Produced with fruit from younger vines. Dark ruby color. Aromas of wood smoke, forest floor and subtle dark berry notes. Flavors of tobacco, blackberries, black raspberry/cherry, pepper spice and roasted meat. Hints of dried herbs on the medium-plus finish. Medium tannins and acidity. Extremely savory and earthy. Better with food. Probably should look to try the Castagno (Old Vines) version of this wine down the road.
