Perfumed and aromatic, this lovely syrah from our estate vines in Dry Creek Valley shows how complex this varietal can be when grown in the right region. This is a syrah for any occasion. Its complex and earthy nose of dark cherries, cola, ripe plums and leather it delivers a powerful punch. The lively flavors of dark red fruit, cranberries, vanilla, coffee and crème brulee continue to build into a long and sustained finish that lingers and entices you to another sip. This wine, with its youthful tannins, will last through 2012.
