71% Syrah, 29% Grenache 

2013 was an ideal growing season producing grapes of exceptional quality. Vibrant fruit, structured tannin and racy acidity co-mingle in perfect unision. Native yeasts and neutral French oak. 

Yoon Ha, MSW "perhaps the most compelling new world Syrah of 2011.  No new oak, partial stems but so unified and contoured with no abruptness."

Glass-staining purple.  High-pitched aromas of red and blackcurrant, cherry, violet and black pepper with subtle olive and smoked meat notes adding complexity.  Offers incisive dark fruit and floral pastille flavors given depth by notes of licorice and black cardamom.  Silky tannins add shape to a long, spicy and seamless finish.  (JR)
