Leather and wild herbs dominate this earthy, compelling Syrah. Black fruit mingles with eucalyptus and cracked pepper in a wine that feels more forest floor than cellar. Whole cluster fermentation brings a green-tinged complexity that drives the finish. Should develop nicely over the next several years.
