Mostly Syrah with minute amounts of Mourvèdre and Viognier, this has a medium+ intensity nose with savoury, meaty, and peppery spice and some dark currant and cherry notes adding some fruit to the aroma profile. It's medium-bodied with supple, fine tannins that are a touch structured, with smoky, toasty, scorched earth flavours, plus touches of dark berry and spice notes adding complexity. Acids are fresh and nicely balanced. Finishes long with more smoky and scorched earth tones. Tasted Feb/2020.
