Plum, blueberry, Toast, charcoal, incense with some buried graphite on the nose. Full and velvety on the palate with evolved fruit notes that mirror the nose. Plush, velvety tannins. This is in a good place right now.

Mid/deep ruby with a bluish tint definitely showing its syrah heritage (this is 92% Syrah, 8% Viognier). It offers a clean nose, with plenty of dark fruit, with some sweet and woody spice, definitely Rhonish in nature although more perfumed. The taste is however less Old World, being dry, good acidity, velvety tannins, quite herbaceous and spicy and good length. Satisfying.
