Notes of smoked meats, black and thimble berries give rise to anise, coffee, olive and herbs de Provence. This is a medium to full bodied Syrah which presents a more masculine side to Syrah as opposed to our estate blend.  As the wine unfolds in the glass, aromatics evolve to highlight Asian five spice, white pepper and clove.  The tannins in this wine are gripping and additional aging in bottle will improve integration.
