Wine Review: This dark ruby colored wine opens with a mild blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, smooth, not very complex, but very easy to drink with appealing blueberry flavors and touch of pepper. The finish is quite dry and its noticeable tannins linger for quite some time. The panel thought this wine was very versatile and would pair it with a shepherd pie or a pot roast. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Stone fruit, roasted coffee, and grilled meats are entwined with plums, blackberries, and white pepper. The sensory experience is a smoother tannin made in the European style, where flavor and depth are not overshadowed by high levels of alcohol. The bright entry shows off more plum with leather, white pepper and spice. This leads to a rich and full mouth feel displaying dried cherries, clove, utmeg, and glimpses of jasmine and dried rose petals. The finish is long and smooth, yet deep and complex enough to please the most dedicated Syrah lover.
