“Deep violet. Expansive aromas of black raspberry and blueberry, joined by exotic spice, floral oil and incense notes that build in the glass. Energetic and focused on the palate, offering intense red and blue fruit liqueur flavors and a spicy jolt of cracked pepper. Closes bright and long, with resonating red fruit and floral notes and smooth, well-judged tannins. 75% whole clusters and no new oak.” – Josh Raynolds

“Fresh and snappy aromas of boysenberry sorbet and rose petals are also Pinot Noir-like on the nose of this Syrah. The palate is extremely floral, like sipping from a punch of rose petal and violet, with a backdrop of black raspberry and white pepper. Drink now–2038.” – Matt Kettmann
