Estimate
...notes of bacon fat, cracked pepper, beef blood, bouquet garni, blackberries, and darker currants. It's a heavenly, concentrated, powerful wine that offers everything I look for in a great wine: richness without heaviness, incredible complexity, a singular character, and the ability to deliver both intellectual and hedonistic pleasure.
...gorgeous scents of blackberry and boysenberry jam with pure notes of violet, pepper, menthol and coffee. Medium to full-bodied, it swells outward in flavor, supported by firm, ripe tannins and seamless freshness, and it finishes very long and flavorful.
Deep aromatics open up first, with expansive sage, lavender, black pepper and menthol overtones that lift from the glass. Beautifully layered and so expressive, the Bien Nacido Syrah is simply fabulous.
