A rich, full-bodied wine that features the classic depth and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon balanced by Syrah's notoriously jammy, more fruit-forward flavors. This wine offers savory aromas of dark berries, cassis, baking spices and vanilla that intermingle with earthy notes of dried tobacco, cigar box and saddle leather. Black currant and other dark fruit flavors linger on the palate, supported by hints of dark chocolate, vanilla and earth.
This bold blend will stand up beautifully to richly seasoned meats and herbaceous savory dishes. Try it with a rosemary & garlic spiced rack of lamb or a spice-rubbed grilled steak.
WINE CRITIC REVIEWS
“Freshly smashed boysenberry, lilac and peppercorn aromas come together seamlessly on the nose of this split Syrah-Cab blend. Firm tension to the sip gives an edge to the berry, ham, cracked pepper and wild thyme flavors.” ~ Wine Enthusiast
