Nose

A complex bouquet and intense palate that demands attention.

Palate

This is a serious Syrah with all the hallmarks of a great wine: great palate intensity, layered complexity, and a profoundly long finish. Notes of blackberry, boysenberry, huckleberry, minerality, olive tapenade, bacon fat, 5 spice powder, espresso, and dark chocolate.

Winemaking

This wine shows a great combination of power and finesse, the firm tannins on the finish will resolve nicely over the next 6-8 years as the wine gains even more complexity.

Appearance

Deep, opaque purple color.
