Big jammy black fruit, cassis, tempered with savory notes of sage, olive, and light smoke. Light on acidity and subtle soft tannins. Big gnarley wine with more complexity that the price would indicate!

Good wine, definitely Syrah dominant. Didn't love it like most new world syrahs for me but would drink again.
