Northern Rhône perfection! Deep ruby-purple color. Extraordinary floral nose of violets, red and black berries and exotic spices. Full-bodied yet incredibly elegant, with seamless tannins and perfect acidity. Spectacular layers of red fruit, honeysuckle, apricot jam, smokey bacon, and white pepper. The finish seems endless. A profound wine. [BBR Syrah Tasting Jan 2024]
