2012 Syrah [clone 525]

Often thought of as the boxer of red varietals─strong and meaty without a lot of dimension─Syrah here looks a bit more like a well-mannered sophisticate who’s not afraid to show his bad boy side after the sun goes down. Big and balanced without being muddled or overly bacon-toned (since we don't use American oak). This vintage is luscious and full of blackberry, chocolate and cacao with a hint of white pepper that carries through to it's long, super complex fininsh.
