Seductive dark and smoky aromas characterize the nose giving way to big flavors of brambleberries, coffee, toffee, and mocha. Full-bodied with a rich mouthfeel. Silky and well-integrated tannins enhance the intrigue of this provocative syrah. With acid in perfect balance, it finishes long with a symphony of intense fruit and barrel spice.
