2004 Estate Syrah
Tasting notes
Deep and dense, this is a mouth-filling wine loaded with chewy black cherry and dark plum flavor, wrapped around spice and smoky accents. Heavy earth and leather notes on the mid tongue. On the palate, the wine is well balanced with a long rich and velvety finish. This wine has matured gracefully over the last few years and the generous tannins have softened.
