Solid but unimpressive purple-fruited Syrah // dark black color with a crimson rim. Nose of melted raspberries slathered on gingerbread. Palate is less exciting with light meat, blackberries, and awkward green flavors that don't gel well. Finish fades quickly.

Distinctive nose, dark fruit remains. Age worthy - whole cluster

A yet-to-be-released Syrah from Pence (just bottled). Very fresh red and black fruit, dried violets and refreshing acidity. Me likey.

Dark plum color. High tannins, nice acidity, black peppers, raw meat very pronounced. Vintage 2014.
