tasting notes
This Syrah shows vivid aromas
of blueberry, dark chocolate, and accents of cherry on the nose.
Definite nuances of orange peel, rose petal, and lavender bring
brightness and finesse to this wine. Warm, subtle oak tones
along with savory hints of bacon create more intensity and depth
on the bouquet. The round and pleasant mouthfeel delivers dark
berry fruits, great acidity, and mature tannins.
winemaker's insight
This wine is crafted from Block 8 at our Double River Estate
Vineyard. With a modest and hands-off approach in the cellar—
respecting the fruit and terroir—we give this wine the freedom
to develop its own distinct identity. It is slowly fermented in small
batches, then aged in French oak for about 18 months.
