Aromas of cherries, blackberries, and blueberries meld with suggestions of dark chocolate, clove, and oak on the nose. A sip delivers flavors of dark cherry, boysenberries, and blueberries that open up into nuances of sweet spice, chocolate, and cedar. Rich fruit carried by polished tannins integrates nicely with savory, smoky notes making this Syrah a good match for chicken mole.

Review:
Fragrances of Asian pear, green apple skin, wild grass, and vanilla rise up from a glass. The palate showcases flavors of pineapple, pear, and tart apple, accented by traces of vanilla bean and grass. Fairly round, yet still lively on the palate, swordfish would make a very nice pairing.

Aromatics of cassis, blackberries, and blueberries mingle with clove, cocoa, and oak on the nose.

A bouquet of blackberries, plums, leather, and dusty earth greet the senses. Flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum come forth on the palate, along with traces of earth and oak. The core of ripe dark fruit is appealing and cocoa tannins make it best enjoyed with food, like pasta in a meat sauce.

Review:
Notes of cherry, cassis, and blueberry interweave with allusions of cedar and minerals on the nose. Lush dark fruit and a touch of vanilla is framed by woodsy and minerally suggestions on the palate. Polished tannins are in concert with lively flavors. Your favorite lamb dish would pair nicely.
