"Focused and serious with black cherry, boysenberry, and mushroom enveloped in rose and fine vanilla. Silky, youthful tannins elevate a dark-fruited profile, complemented by a spicy mid-palate and blackberry-vanilla finish. Elegant yet robust, best enjoyed with a fine cut of steak. Cellar through 2035+. " Anna-Christina Cabrales"

"Smoky and peppery with hints of clove and sweet paprika, this solid Syrah combines elegant and ripe black fruit with finely tuned oak. It's dense and structured, with a salty liquorice finish. It could shoulder many types of food, from spiced or grilled meat to earthy vegetable-based dishes, so a great option if you're cooking for multiple dietary requirements."
