Really shows the terroir. Which is it say it is a bit restrained (probably too restrained for some) and allows the interesting pepper notes of Syrah shine through.

Blackberry, raspberry, cherry, vanilla, licorice, oak and hints of white pepper. Good structure and soft tannins.

#flxwine Syrah frequently shows just a little grapefruit that I love. White pepper, currants... Delicious.
