Randy said it was an excellent blend with dark chocolate on the finish. Deb said it was a "treasure trove" with hints of cocoa, dark cherry cola and blackberry cobbler.
At 65% Syrah, this is a hearty blend with deep red/purple color and an enticing nose. Barrel-aged for 21 months in French oak, 53% new, both varieties shine.
This is a bold wine, and it went incredibly well with the barbeque ribs that Todd brought. I made orzo with beef, mushrooms and cheese and that paired nicely, too.
