2005 Syrah

Winemaking Notes

The 2005 vintage has a very good depth of color with youthful ruby/garnet hues. The succulent fruit flavors lead to a toasted oak mid palate and then on to a finish of cocoa and spicy oak. The aromas are of dense, big jammy fruit; raspberries and plums. The bouquet delivers a nice complexity of sweet vanilla.
