Previous Vintage Notes
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Brent's rich, gamey, massive Syrah, the biggest wine he makes. Brilliant dark red hue. Complex aromas of lavender, raspberry/bing cherry jam, and white pepper overlay tones of mowed hay, smoke, and mocha. Muscular and mouth filling with a cascade of jammy red fruits, lavender, rosemary, and white pepper.
