The feral whiff of wild yeasts. Hard candy interpretations of blueberry, elderberry, and cassis. Smoke and charred meat. Lots of strong acidity. Definitely cold climate Sonoma Syrah.

Purple center with a violet rim. Plummy, dark cherry, smoked meat, and pepper on the medium intensity nose. The palate provides candied cherry and spice. The acidity in this medium-bodied wine supports the fruit well. Overall, this wine is moderate in intensity and fruit with good acidity. It is pleasant but not memorable.

Decanted about 30 mins. Light purple, youthful color. Aromatic dark fruit, florals. High toned, peppery, red fruit, nice acid, a bit light bodied and wish it had just a bit more weight and flesh on the mid palate and a tad longer finish. Solid and food friendly. Perhaps needs time?

Two bottles both heavy on pepper and spice. Couldn't get through that.
