Note di degustazione
Beginning with an open and accessible nose, the 2017 Syrah The Contender is rich and round with no hard edges. Elements of black pepper, black raspberry and blackberry reduction fill the glass along with hints of dusty lavender petals. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is expressive with an open-knit core of ripe fruit, balanced structure and lifting tannins. Concluding with a rich and complex finish, flavors of black raspberry, black tea and peppercorn linger on the palate. Delicious.

Co-fermented with 5% Marsanne and aged 18 months in 35% new oak, the Syrah-dominated 2017 The Contender is another ruby/purple-hued effort from this estate that offers a complex bouquet of black raspberries, smoked game, spring flowers, and hints of violets. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and ethereal on the palate, it shines for its complexity and nuances just as much as its richness and length. It's going to evolve for at least 10-12 years.
Rich nose – lots of dark fruit and spice and a currant note. Full and ripe with notes of smoke and rubber. Full ripe style, but has a streak of acidity to revive it. (AC)
