This is a classic Syrah. Flashy, oaky, rich, and built for the long haul, it leads with prominent cola-like barrel influence, followed closely by blackberries, violets, dried savory herbs, and a baseline of fire-roasted vegetables. The palate is ripe and powerful but balanced. The oak is well integrated with the plush fruit and structured, herb-flecked tannins. Drink now or age it for another year or two, your choice.
Pleasing aromas of red and black cherry, blackberry and balsamic. The wine tastes savory and delicious with smooth, brambly fruit in the mouth and similar flavors to the nose plus lots of licorice. Pair it with lamb and stews.
This wine is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tuscany in a bottle. It is complex with flavors of blackberry, plum, espresso, licorice, bittersweet chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. It is rich, smooth with the tannins that are supple, and has a long, beautiful finish.
