This is a truly noble Syrah, though still young, it will age gracefully for 5-10 more years. Hints of white pepper season the nose of dark red berry fruit which shows bright fresh acidity on the palate. Try throwing this in the mix as a ringer in a tasting of older northern Rhône reds. It will not disappoint!
