100% Syrah Dark opaque and black hued. Exlosion of deep red fruit aromas with hints of wood and briar patch. Full bodied and refined, rich, blueberry and dried fruits.  Concentrated juicy mid palate encompassed by cola and sweet fruit. Complex inegrated tannins complete the framework. The density, texture and depth of this wine are a testament to the quality of the vineyard.  The finish is long and lingering with appealing notes coffee and vanilla. Drink this wine now or age it up to ten years.
