2018 Estate Syrah

Deep ruby-crimson colored, this tenth vintage strikes a balance between the floral aromas of the 2016 vintage with the savory aromas of the 2017 vintage. The 2018 Estate Syrah emits aromas of wild fruits–strawberries, blackberries black currants–with scents of black rose, olive tapenade, pipe tobacco, lavender, and spiced incense. The pure varietal flavors are infused with black licorice, cocoa powder, and cobblestone. The back palate reveals pressed berries, roasted hazelnuts, blueberry preserves, and ground charcoal, followed by a long, juicy ripe tannin finish with drying acidity.
