The 2019 Syrah shows dark, inky purple in hue with complex aromas of mocha, blueberry syrup, chocolate brownie, and plum sauce. Wine flavors detected were pie cherries, black tea, earthy, sweet tobacco and black plum. The mouthfeel is fuller bodied with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity, adding liveliness to the palate. Long, black fruit finish with acid and minerals adding focus.
