• bensony Likes this wine: 90 points

  April 6, 2020 - The 2017 Syrah is opaque medium to deep purple in color. I decanted this for 2 hours which allowed the initial sour notes to blow off and drank it over the following 4 hours. The nose is complex and evolves over time to showcase aromas of blueberry, black plum, olive, violet, sweet tobacco, loamy earth, smoke, clove, chocolate, and light oak. On the palate, I get notes of tart blueberry, sweet and juicy plum, black cherry, purple and blue florals, black olive, scorched rocky earth, tobacco, grilled meat, and green herbs. This is full-bodied with medium (+) acidity, elegant medium tannins, and a long finish filled with jammy black fruit.
  
  100% Syrah; 12.5% ABV
