Detailed tasting notes

Color Deep inky purple

Palate Weighty and broad without being plodding. Layered, rich texture with a long, lingering finish. Fresh Damson plums and olallieberries. Subtle oak contributing structure even as the last of the wine evaporates. Clone 470 — late-ripening, aromatic, deep colored, and full-bodied. The first Syrah made from Armaa.N Vineyard.

Power and delicacy from our estate — dark-chocolate cherries and long, lingering depth.
