With 7% Petite Sirah and 5% Mourvèdre, this meaty red is balanced in weight and ripeness, with an earthy, leathery quality that gives it power and savory character. Blueberry, tar and a sprinkling of white pepper round out the palate, with well-integrated oak and tannin.

Black violet color. Aromas and flavors of dried plum, cinnamon, chocolate ganache, creme brulee, and lilac with a round, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity full body and a warming, complex, very long finish revealing notes of red peppercorns, pomegranate, tamarind chutney, and star anise with moderate oak flavor. A rich, brooding Syrah with fleshy-fruity dreamy oak and fine balance; elegant and with wow-factor.
