100% Syrah. Intense and deep color. Aromas of black cherry, pepper, spices, woody, and smoked notes. On the palate, it is balanced, with velvety tannins and a fruity aftertaste. Pair this wine with beef, lamb, and game, and perfect for spicy food.

This shows granite and dark berry character with lots of black licorice and hints of orange peel. Full body, tight and silky with integrated tannins and a long and flavorful finish. ~93 James Suckling
