A well structured Syrah with balanced flavors, the nuances of this wine will continue to develop over time Tasting Notes:
Rich purple color presents aromas of cherries, strawberries and subtle notes of cloves. This mouthfilling wine reveals juicy plums, spice, a touch of menthol rounded out with blackberries. The finish is well structured with lingering fruit.
