Tasting Notes: Aromas of blackberry, chocolate, and a touch of licorice mingle with a subtle yet intriguing blend of black pepper, smoky oak, and new leather. The smooth entry showcases ripe blackberry and spicy mocha, which retain a prominent role front to finish. Dark roasted coffee, anise, and blueberry appear mid-palate, with a hint of orange revealed in the lingering finish. The combination of opulent fruit, creamy texture, integrated oak, and solid tannins provides a rich, balanced Syrah. If enjoyed while young, we recommend decanting for an hour or more before serving.

Try pairing this wine with chipotle orange pork chops, roasted eggplant caponata, or a comforting shepherd’s pie.
