Note di degustazione
Opening with a dark-fruited core of generous fruit, floral background notes and expressive freshly ground peppercorn, the 2015 Syrah The Darkness has a serious side that will make you pay attention to what it has to say. The palate shows the wine is spicier than the nose leads on, showing more earthy flavors of leather as the fruit steps aside. The wine is grippy and spicy on the gumline as it lingers with a long, taut finish and will only be enriched by pairing with food. I see a roasted lamb being a deliciously wise choice with this bottle. Only 316 cases made.

The nose offers plenty of dark, rich blackberries and interwoven spiciness, leading to a palate that has a plush and supple feel, as well as a long, smooth and sweet-fruited finish. Impressive depth. Drink or hold.
From the Yakima Valley, the 2015 Syrah Darkness is unquestionably more meaty and exotic, with loads of black fruits, black olive tapenade, salted pork, and ground pepper characteristic. Rounded, supple, and sexy on the palate, with a beautiful texture and moderate tannins, it delivers tons of pleasure.
Dark ruby-red. The nose offers more personality and lift than the Ruckus Syrah, with aromas of black raspberry and blueberry complicated by mocha, bitter chocolate and leather. Delivers more fruit complexity and sweetness in the mouth, with flavors of dark raspberry, cocoa powder and spices complicated by a positive element of gamey funk. The firm tannins are nicely supported by the wine's sweet fruit. More inviting than the Ruckus bottling, this wine also finishes with greater lift. (14.5% alcohol)
