A project by the current winemaker of Dunn Vineyards with its own small vineyard, this Syrah shows its pedigree.

On the nose it bursts with concentrated blackberry, blueberry, and peppery spices with hint of grilled meat and purple floral. It’s full and velvety on the palate with good balance. Silky dusty tannins on the long finish. Will hold and drink beautifully for the next 5-8 years.
