This is a layered narrative of dark fruits, a dash of black pepper, and that unmistakable hint of smoky earth. And undeniably funky. It’s not just about boldness; it’s about a refined grit, a raw elegance that speaks of rugged vineyards and uncompromising craftsmanship.

A brooding teenager who has started to reflect on the fact that pure aggression is not necessary all the time. Still comes with a little heat but is starting to figure out how to be kind as well. Plum, tobacco, astringency, and a soft finish.

2014 Vintage. 15.7% Alcohol. Wow, what a wine. Big beast of a Syrah with plenty of fruit, iron and lilacs. Great plush mouthfeel and finish.
