Bright garnet red in color! The nose is very attractive with bright forest fruits, violets and peppery herbs. Full fruit sensation in the entry and mid-palate with a cinnamon and peppery herb finish true to the nose, and new French oak through a long finish. This Syrah pays homage to many great Rhone Valley reds, with the inclusion of the great Rhone white variety Viognier which adds a bright pop to the wine and complexity. Charming now this wine will be more complex over the next few years.
