Nice ruby color, though nothing very notable of it.

Soft aroma. Grapes, raisins, plums, and coffee in the nose. Plus, there’s a nice earthiness and oakiness to it. The aroma itself is very interesting.

Taste is rather oaky for a syrah. It’s very warming and burns on the way down. It’s rather smooth too. Although it’s rather light for a syrah, it’s rather complex and very round, as the flavor really reaches all the way to the back of the mouth. It’s direct but has subtle notes of spice and coffee, with some sweetness in there too. The overtones are fantastic, though for me they are too weak.

Overall Score: 4.2/5.0
