The 2009 is a lighter finish as compared to our 2008. It has a softer mid palate and is early in its development. We anticipate that it will age well in the bottle for several years to come. Beautifully black cherry in color, this vintage has light berry notes to start but finishes with that mellow yet bold taste that hints of pepper.

Deep, dark red that actually seems to change the color of the glass.  This wine has a jammy texture with a hint of that earthy aroma that immediately identifies it as a Syrah.  This distinct wine fades into a mix of black pepper and cherries.  This wine was aged for an extra year to bring out the flavors and give it layers and complexity.
