Description
This Syrah (made with 5% Viognier) combines a powerful side with very floral notes. It is a dark wine offering a mineral nose with notes of smoke, black fruit, black olive, and pepper -- always enhanced by a floral component. It is aromatic on the palate, with firm but smooth tannins, and a beautiful lingering finish. Its aromatic mouth, with well-built but smoothed tannins, continues in a beautiful final length.
