Fabulous nose of licorice, mineral, tar and spices. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins and a long, long finish. Reminds me of a great vintage of La Chapelle in the late 1980s. Fabulous. A wine all in texture.

Cellar Selection - This is an exceptional Syrah with a spirited Tuscan soul that delivers great intensity throughout and spicy tones of ripe fruit, smoked bacon, blueberry syrup and freshly milled black pepper. It's a beautiful expression of the variety with an impeccable mouthfeel and pristine flavors that ride strong until the very end.
