Delicate and mineral. Incredibly dry. Fruit seems under ripe. Peppery. 95% Syrah, 5% Viognier. Ready to drink.

A blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, aromas of berry fruits and beautiful floral scents with slight citrus notes. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors with a sweet herb character. Tight tannins, great mouthfeel, lingering, ending with mineral character. Nice!

Like an intelligent child, testing the limits of manipulation. This is gonna be a firecracker in 10 years. Suppressed black pepper and olive notes with a muted floral nose and tightly wound fruit. Call me crazy, but this has a ruby grapefruit quality to it right now. Just an infant.

95% Syrah 5% Viognier. Plenty of complexity and vibrance. Nicely perfumed nose with sweet tobacco, flambéed marshmallow, creme brûlée, wet leather, dried herbs, and Maraschino cherries. On the palate a slight medicinal quality with tart red fruits, dark chocolate, and moss/underbrush. Paired nicely with pork tenderloin and pomegranate & grape reduction.
