Syrah
This wine starts with a magnificent nose where blackberries, violets and plums introduce the vivid fruit flavors that dance across the palate. Aging in French oak barrels for nine months.

(Highly Recommended)
Deep, saturated blackish-ruby hue. Perfumed briar fruit and sweet-vanilla oak nose. A rich entry leads a generous, full-bodied palate with chewy tannins. Ripe, drying finish. A big, oaky fruit-bomb--somewhat Aussie in style. Try with grilled meats.
