2006  Syrah

Upfront plum and cassis aromas dominate the nose. Traditional syrah characteristics of smoke and a meaty quality express themselves with hints of anise and leather in the end of the bouquet. Palate follows nose with more plum and black currant flavors. This wine is soft and approachable with elegant nutmeg spice in the finish.
