Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine presents an immense richness, intensity and full-bodied charm with a noteworthy presentation of violets, blackberry, star anise, coffee and dark chocolate just as does the Syrah that comes from the east side of the block. The difference with the west side of the block is that it exhibits more smoked meat characteristics than the east side of the block.
