On the nose; ruby, dark cassis, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, plum, cinnamon, vanilla, mocha, caramel, dark chocolate, sweet tarry notes, black pepper, black olive, loamy dry clay & top soil, beautiful lavender and violets.

The body is full and beautiful. The palate tannins are; round, meaty and chewy, but much softer than the 15 Syrah. Fruits are; ruby, dark cassis, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, cherries, strawberries & plum, Cinnamon, vanilla, mocha, caramel, dark chocolate, sweet tarry notes, black pepper, black olive, chewy leather, dry stones, loamy dry clay & top soil, some dry crushed rock powder, beautiful lavender and violets. The acidy is nice & round, the long, beautiful, round, ripe, ruby, elegant finish is nicely polished.

Photos of; another photo walking their property with the Foxtails in full bloom. Estate Syrah grapes and an old large Chilean oak barrel they acquired from a winery they purchased adjacent to their property. Its doors open up as shown in the bottom photo. Inside it tells their tale of biodynamic moon cycle practices.
