The 2017 Syrah displays a dark ruby core with purple edges and is scented of dusty plum, blackberry and subtle baking spices followed by elements of black pepper and wet river rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is spicy with a firm yet balanced structure that is delightful, offering flavors of dusty blackberries, dried herbs and bitter dark chocolate, concluding with a long lingering finish. It’s a wine of precision and is food-friendly.
