The nose offers blackberries, blueberries, black and white pepper and violets. The mouth is dense with abundant tannins and acid. It is 100% Syrah, fermented with 10% stems and aged 20 months with lees stirring in one new French oak demi-muid and two neutral French oak barrels. Unfiltered. 100 cases made.
