Smoky black fruits, pepper, game, and darker, chocolaty nuances define the nose, and it's a powerful, full-bodied, decadent beauty on the palate, with sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a fleshy, layered mouthfeel. - Jeb Dunnuck

Tasting Notes
Savory, dark, brooding. Smoked meats and braised morels - screams savory umami out of the glass. Like an Italian deli, or a trip to Corti Bros. More continental Damson plum notes are strong.
Color Deep inky ruby
Palate So much body presence, mid-palate texture, verve, and pop. Cherries, strawberries, and pluots on the palate. The follow speaks to suckling pig and jamón ibérico. The richness covers the entire palate — plush, weighty, and even filling for a wine. Luxurious oak notes: Madagascar vanilla bean, mascarpone, cedar box/cigar box/humidor in Havana.

Critic Reviews
“Coming from the Armaa.N Estate in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, the 2023 Syrah Meso Armaa.N Estate is 100% Syrah that was aged 22 months in 37% new French oak barriques. Smoky black fruits, pepper, game, and darker, chocolaty nuances define the nose, and it's a powerful, full-bodied, decadent beauty on the palate, with sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a fleshy, layered mouthfeel. Just the second harvest off this southwest-facing Syrah block, it should drink well over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036.”
“From the second vintage off the LXV estate Armaa.N Vineyard, this Syrah shows a deeply layered aromatic profile. The nose is driven by dark, slightly confected fruit such as plums and prunes. A savory, meaty edge plus deep baking spice notes bring depth and intensity. The palate is lush and full, with those same concentrated dark fruits, layered with dark chocolate and a more subtle spice character. Inky in color in the glass, it is rich, expressive, and built for the table.”
