“A dense, rich, notably complex and concentrated Syrah, with beefy wild berry and white pepper. It picks up a tasty core of blackberry and boysenberry jam flavors that give it a wonderful aftertaste that echoes fruit and spice. Firm tannins make it a good candidate for short-term cellaring. Best from 2005 through 2012. 400 cases made.”
