Estimate
This wine is highly perfumed on the nose, reminiscent of a dried-flower-filled sachet, with lilacs, rosewater candy, sweet tobacco and a little caramel making for a distinct aroma. The dried purple flowers hit the palate too, along with plums, Asian spice and black peppercorns. The gritty structure is sprinkled with ample acidity.
Plump and rich, with a focused core of complexity. Floral blackberry aromas open to graceful flavors of blueberry, orange zest and smoky pepper.
Notes of spice, underbrush, plum and blueberry all flow from this medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, slightly exotic Syrah that has nice concentration and a pretty, focused style on the palate.
