Opulent aromas of blackberry, rich-grained leather, spicy pepper and chocolate notes lure you to the first sip. Then the classic Syrah flavors of luscious blackberry and plum, spicy white pepper, mocha and a touch of cola captivate your palate. The chewy tannins melt into the lingering richness of cocoa and leather in the long finish-the enchantment is complete.

Hand-harvested and fermented in open-top vats with three daily punchdowns.
