2021 Reserve Syrah

100% Syrah

The nose of this Syrah reveals a captivating blend of sweet menthol, dark cocoa, and a chalky limestone minerality, providing a sense of both freshness and earthiness. Rich aromas of blackberry and plum pie intermingle with boysenberry and a touch of clove, adding complexity and depth. On the palate, anise introduces a bold, aromatic start, while the wine’s linear, chalky tannins give structure and a dry, almost powdery texture. Moderate acidity keeps the wine lively, balancing the deeper flavors of brick oven smokiness and seared rib-eye, which impart savory richness. Notes of black pepper and dried fig add further complexity, while the finish is highlighted by a warm, lingering clove spice.
