Deep ruby, the 2015 Syrah Lorraine (100% Syrah) offers pure crushed blackcurrants, bitter chocolate, white pepper and Moroccan mint aromas with an undercurrent of roast coffee, tar and grilled meats. The palate is full-bodied and surprisingly lifted and fresh, with a firm but very finely grained frame and long finish. This is perfectly approachable now but is evolving slowly and gracefully and should age very well in bottle.

Vibrant black raspberry and licorice aromas open to polished, multilayered flavors of orange peel and brown baking spices that take on richness toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2030. 130 cases made.??–TF??Region: California / Edna Valley Select to Add
