Hillside Estate Syrah

This Syrah opens with black raspberry and notes of clove and espresso which interweave with black currant and a touch of cardamom on the palate. Elegant fine-grained tannins lead to a powerful juicy finish. A warm season, with heat moderated by wildfire smoke cover, afforded this Syrah beautiful aromatics and the hang-time required for full ripening of tannins. Pairs well with grilled lamb, merguez sausage, and rich cheese.
