Violets and spice and other things nice. We try to keep our eager hands off when making Syrah, much like Pinot Noir, and allow the fruit expression to shine. Fragrant red and dark fruits with bramble are layered over fine but pronounced tannins. Bitter Cacao and Juniper highlights offset the sweet fruit characters, also lifted by natural acidity.
This wine comes dressed in a selection of French and American oak adding structure and hints of vanilla. For anyone who likes the aromatics of Pinot Noir but wants more body.
