Tasting Notes
This 100% Syrah displays a deep garnet hue with purple edges in the glass. The nose opens with intense fruit-forward aromas of dark cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle white pepper spice and hints of violet. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine delivers concentrated flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and boysenberry, with white pepper adding complexity and a firm tannic structure providing grip. The finish is surprisingly soft and elegant, with lingering dark fruit and gentle oak integration.
