Notes

This richly aromatic Syrah opens with layers of sweet vanilla, seared red meat, dark plum reduction, and charred cedar, accented by sweet hickory and candied strawberry. The palate begins with a soft entry, revealing flavors of cherry cola, fresh raspberry, and dried figs. As the wine develops, fine-grained tannins build alongside deeper notes of cracked pepper, bacon jam, reduced blackberries, and a hint of pie crust. The finish is evenly structured and carries through with medium length and savory complexity.
