A moderately aromatic wine with baking spices, coffee grounds, leather, and dried cherry. The palate is full and rich with cherry and coffee flavors and tannins that are just a bit dried out but overall this wine simply dazzles. Drink now or in the next four years to see it at its best but it has a long life ahead of it still. 100% Syrah. Kiona and Clifton vineyards. Aged in French oak (33% new). 14.3% alcohol. 69 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
