    Tasting Notes:

    Black at its center, with a deep purple robe, this is Syrah times ten! Ripe, complex cassis and blueberry mingle with anise and leather notes. Velvet on the palate, following a huge attack of dense, dark fruit and big, soft tannins, Estate Syrah finishes long, with blueberries, acacia, and vanilla. Stains teeth in 45 seconds!
