Dialed back on the Syrah this vintage. The extra Sangio and Grenache give it lift and freshness. One of my favorites of the past few years...super aromatic!

Light, ethereal, and racy - all lifted blue fruit and cotton candy. No funk here, just pure fruit in an efficient /focused package. Another great vintage of this wine. Perfect with burgers.

Smells and tastes like a syrah, but the sangiovese grape adds a lot of complexity. Blueberry and cherry, and oh so drinkable!
