Tasting notes:
Dark fruit aromas of black cherry, blueberry, raspberry and plum are accentuated by hints of smoke, black pepper, and cinnamon in this big Syrah. Rich flavors of briary fruits, chocolate liqueur, black cherry, blueberry and sweet oak give way to round, supple tannins and a smooth, soft finish.
