Review

On the nose, rich fruit aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and currants, combine with notes of chocolate, barrel spices, and a hint of pepper. Lush dark fruit dominates the palate with suggestions of pepper and sweet oak adding a nice extra layer of flavors. Nicely balanced between fruit and other influences, it’s a great bottle for fans of softer Syrah.
