Tasting Notes

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Syrah has a great core of plums and blackberry preserves with black pepper, dried herbs and licorice accents. Medium-bodied with remarkable texture - both velvety and grainy - it offers mouth-filling pepper laced flavors and a lively acid backbone, finishing long.

**Just 2,247 bottles filled. Aged for 20 months in French barriques of which 25% were new. **
Bright garnet. Light and fresh - very pure. Light black pepper. Pure North Rhône flavours. Super clean but with a pure fruity middle. Impressive persistence.
