Winemaker Notes
Updated August 2023
Inky black cherry in color. In need of a good decanting before service to free up this powerful vintage's shy and structured aromatics. Always a more savory than fruity wine (why we love it!). Cured meats, white pepper, subtle poblano spice, dried oregano, kalamata olives, blackberry, pipe tobacco, French-roast coffee, and baker's chocolate. In the mouth, this is a fantastic, herculean Syrah with folded textural complexity and fine but copious tannins that support a dark-fruited beauty of a wine that demands a pairing of char-grilled red meats. Drink Now-2033.
