Winery Review: It spent 12 months in French Oak. The aromas receive a pleasant lift from the Viognier component in addition to notes of meat, game, lavender, and blueberry. Rich layered and long, this Syrah will evolve.
My Review: I found a slight acidic aroma along with red grape and blueberry. On the palate this wine is light, yet full bodied. It is parching to drink, but also leaves you feeling warm. There are light fruit notes, with a smooth finish.
