Taste Profile:Bold, powerful, detailed and delicious. A great Syrah-forward red blend.This wine exhibits traditional black pepper and spice together with clean, mild tannins and fresh, balanced acidity.

Winemaking Process: The various lots were fermented separately in small open top fermenters with manual punch downs twice daily. These fermenters range in size from 1.5 to 4.5 ton capacity. Some of the Syrah lots had some whole clusters, but for the most part the grapes were de-stemmed.
