Deep purple-black in color, the 2009 Moritz Syrah offers intense notes of cassis, crushed blackberries and warm black cherries with hints of star anise, loam and dried plums. Full bodied with a good amount of taut, youthful, muscular fruit, it has a refreshing line of crisp acidity and medium to firm, chewy tannins, finishing long and purely fruited. It should drink best 2013 to 2020+. Importer: Wine Brokers Unlimited, Hayward, CA
