Dark fruit and lingers in the palate! A little aged and beautifully balanced Syrah!

Dark inky red color. Perfumed nose of roses, hibiscus tea, cherry schnapps, and leather. Flavor is full bodied and slightly savory. Some plumy streaks balanced by cedar and spice. Hint of sweet green olives. Black licorice as well. Plenty of tannin. For 11 year old Syrah this could probably age for another 4 or 5 before it peaks. A deep, rich wine with balance and complexity. Deftly avoids the CA fruit bomb trap by offering plenty to ponder.

Strong blackberry and licorice flavor, oaky and a bit medicinal aftertaste. Pairs well with a slightly charred steak.
