2012 Syrah, Suscol Springs, Napa Valley
Displaying a beautiful purplish hue signaling its depth and intensity, our 2012 Syrah presents a perfumed nose of fresh blackberry, boysenberry and blueberry fruit complemented by roasted earth and mocha tones. On the palate, the red wine is dense, juicy and mouthfilling, with flavors of blackberry, black cherry, currant and dark plum leading to a long, rich finish featuring a hint of sandalwood spice and bolstered by fine, supple tannins. Although this lush, sumptuous California syrah is delicious now, it will develop further complexity with another 5-7 years’ aging.
