Here’s a tart, fresh Syrah that lands in my preferred zone for the variety — cooler climate acidity showing with more red fruit than black, preserved pepper and a bright finish. Pairing possibilities are endless with this! A new label to keep an eye on. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
