Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of dried garden herbs, particularly mint, dried flowers, leather, and dried cherries with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, amusing, short finish manifesting shades of tart red cherry, cranberry, mint, and leather and cedar. Tart red fruit and earth driven, a cool climate expression of Syrah; would like to see the black fruit and pepper develop here over time.
