Raisin, currents, plum. Juicy red berries on the nose. Silky with a taste of vanilla at the end. Very enjoyable.

This is such a smooth, juicy Syrah with hints of fresh spice. Full-bodied with supple tannins and a long finish will make this wine one to return to again and again.

Tasty full bodied syrah with a hint of bite, and a very slight molasses sweetness.

I like blends but decided to try this Syrah and the taste is really delicious. Fruit forward tannins, and a nice woody finish. It is much more like a cab than an merlot or pinot. I think you’re going to like it too. #excellent after opening and letting it air.

Lots of green pepper or okra on the nose, some black pepper and fruit on the palate. Pretty good body but not too tannic. Not bad for KJ. Just not terribly complex.
