Deep, luscious blue, purple, and black fruit welcomes one into the smooth, supple, billowy mouthfeel. Classic Syrah notes of olives, olive tapenade, and “roast” meats compliment the fruit purity from the nose all the way through to the seamless, soft finish. Deep enough to pair with summertime grilling yet so smooth it gets yummier and crunchier – almost refreshing - drinking it with a chill. As the bottle opens up with air, red-fruit appears above the blue-black and a nice spicy framing of freshness begins to lift the palate. SYRAH/VIOGNIER blend, think Cote-Rotie.
