An elegant, cool weather Syrah, this 2009 presents with black fruit, white pepper, dark cocoa and a subtle hint of smoke on the nose. The mouth reveals layers of blackberry, pepper, mocha and leather, wrapped in an enticing coat of spice. Smooth tannins on the finish with a silky mouthfeel make this full bodied Syrah a winner! Pair with any of your favorite grilled food — meats, fish, even barbequed veggies. Porcini mushroom risotto and hearty pasta dishes are also a perfect match. Sublime!
