Winmaker Notes:
Light ruby red in color, with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and forest floor. Firm but smooth tannins combined with a medium acidity lead way to fresh, red fruit flavors and hints of black licorice. Sourced from our Casa Blanca Vineyard.
Wine Enthusiast scored this 91 Points saying 'Lighter in color than most Syrahs, this bottling begins with grilled strawberry, coffee grind, green-peppercorn and black-pepper aromas. The light-red-plum and strawberry flavors are enhanced by baking spices, making for a pleasantly fresh style.'
