Winemaker Notes: This wine has an opaque, black-purple color like outer space with the lights turned off. Complex aromas of white pepper, wild flowers, red apricots and citrus peel complimented by dense black raspberries, blueberries and olives. This wine has phenomenal concentration, European-core and structure. This is an incredible and age-worthy Syrah.

Your comments on this wine:





Clinking Glasses Before Tasting Wine: Originates from medieval times. Milk was often spoiled, water was often polluted. Wine was usually safe. The host would drink the wine first and then clink glasses with guests to show the wine was good and safe for drinking.
