I love what is going on with this wine.

In the glass, it is deceptively translucent ruby red. On the nose, there is tons of eucalyptus and a touch of freshly picked tomato stem.

The palate is unashamedly savory with complementary fruits on the side. It's almost as if you can taste the stems and roots.

Wonderful

Enjoyed this Syrah very much. Nice almost candy like taste but not over powering. Nice balance of tannins and acid. Would definitely buy again

Blackberry jam, spice, mineral and grilled meat dominate. The finish is velvety, long and memorable. Fantastic, but this has to be your thing.
