Exuberant berry notes jump from the glass and fold into briar and wood spice. Juicy entry leads to a palate of ripe red fruit, structured by cocoa-like tannins. Finishes with red apple and a hint of vanilla bean. 

...a beautiful smooth Syrah that has spice, pepper, anise on the nose....with a long creamy black cherry finish...

Medium bodied and with a nicely gripping texture, this wine is leaner than many, revealing mineral and chalk flavors along with light floral, green-apple and white-pepper nuances. It's lively and different, and should get more complex with age

The acid draws a clear focused line across the palate reminiscent of the Old World, with firm tannins marking it Californian. It has aromas of cherries and red fruits surely to delight any meal.
