This is the Syrah you dream about. Big, bold but a beauty with style. Layers of black cherry, black pepper, smoke and all spice mingle with plum, graham cracker and tobacco on the nose. An irresistible combination of flavors including black cherry, black currant, blackberry, smoked meat and dark chocolate are truly pleasing on the palate.

Best kind of present. It's super blueberry and black currant. Tobacco, clove, cinnamon, and a touch of funk on the finish. Rich and full and luscious.

From the winery’s estate vineyard, this is a powerful and stylish Syrah.
Nose shows lovely berry fruits, then turns to warm spices, dry black tea leaf, and touch of smoked meat. Dense yet juicy on the palate. Rustic tannins need time.

Rich and full bodied. Very forward with notes of berries and some spice. Paired nicely with a couple slices of smoked brisket amd roasted veggies. Delicious

Dark and dry. Very earthy. Might pair well with some kind of red meat but not a great one for me on its own

Yumm. Soy Sauce, other asiatic savory sauce characteristics, black fruits, woody notes like pencil shavings et al, cedar, redwood, ..... beloved black fruits and black cherry gelato dusted with habanero. Fantastic Expression of American Syrah
