Herbaceous notes highlight the silky ripe strawberry aromas and the deeper black cherry notes. Taunt black cherry skins, black pepper and cherry pits keep things in focus. Vibrant and tight this will reward your patience if you can stash some in your "cellar." In its youth it will be a thrilling alpine styled Syrah with lip smacking freshness and vibrancy. This wine will form sediment in the bottle as it ages and should be decanted and served at 55 degrees.
