Description

The 2011 vintages continue to amaze me with their freshness of fruit. This Syrah is just beginning to show signs of secondary and tertiary aromas revealing black and red peppercorns, violets, cured meat, mushroom, pencil shavings, menthol, mint, crushed rock, coffee, and cocoa nibs.

Wine Profile

Food Pairing Notes:

Syrah's bold and robust character, characterized by dark fruit flavors, smokiness, and well-structured tannins, makes it an ideal companion for grilled meats, hearty stews, and dishes with a touch of spice, creating harmonious pairings that elevate both the wine and the food.

Tasting Notes:

An opulent style of Syrah – very Californiaesque – with lifted aromas, brimming with copious amounts of macerated berries, black fig jam, crème de violet, Copa cola, and fennel. A heavy weight wine boasting black and purple fruit leather, regal tannins, black cherry cordial and high-alcohol.
