2016 brought cooler temperatures and finally rain after an almost 4 year long drought in Southern California. These conditions created a brighter, Old World styled Syrah. Acid driven, lighter, and more feminine, this Syrah will pair perfectly with any fall and winter dish. Hints of violets, cassis, blackberries and a mild spice will fill your palate while you savor this punchy Syrah.
