| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Our Estate Syrah displays classic varietal aromas of ripe black plum, blackberry and currant fruit with hints of violets, pepper spice, vanilla cream and a subtle roasted meat tone. Its deeply extracted black fruit flavors are complemented by savory spice and black licorice tones that add a zesty note to the wine’s long, rich finish. Enjoy this robust red now with hearty fare or age it another 3-4 years to fully develop it rich, complex flavors.
