Wine Review: This opaque dark purple colored dessert wine opens with a fragrant ripe blackberry bouquet with notes of heat and a hint of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, rich, a touch hot, with slightly sweet blackberry flavors. There is a hint of black cherry towards the finish. The finish is pleasant and does not show as much of the 18% alcohol as you might think. We felt this wine would pair well with tiramisu or rum cake. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Liquid Velvet... Syrah harvested at maximum ripeness from the Kiler Canyon Vineyard. The wine was aged in small French oak barrels for twenty-four months. Seductive layers of rich berry fruit and spice trail into a silky caramel finish. Serve with chili spiced chocolate and a willing companion. Creative consumption is encouraged..
