Syrah has been enjoyed for centuries. DNA testing puts its origins in France however it didn’t take long for this varietal to be grown all around the world. This Syrah is full of color, flavor and depth. It has wonderful caramel and coffee scents which blend seamlessly with deep dark fruit aromas. The mouthfeel is full of texture and rich flavors like, caramel and cocoa. The long finish leaves us with dry full tannins and hints of brown sugar and orange spice. This Syrah is a great example of why the varietal has been so well loved across the world, for so long.
