Tasting notes
Beautiful deep purple color, this wine greets you with floral, rose petal nose and blue fruit on the nose along with notes of chocolate, black pepper and licorice. Balanced dark fruit, structured ripe tannins and fresh acidity marking this Syrah on the palate leading into flavors of purple plum, dark cherry, baked blueberries and cocoa. Vinification was done in new puncheons and neutral French oak barriques for 22 months. This wine has potential for future aging as the tannins will continue to soften.
Food pairing
grilled lamb chops seasoned with rosemary and thyme, seared New York strip steak with sautéed wild mushrooms, Ossobucco or braised short rib
