Syrah is always nice but this blend just ramps up the enjoyment tenfold. This is complex, and keeps revealing different flavors and noted as you work down the glass. There’s equal amounts of fruit to tobacco here, but those who might not like smoke in their wine shouldn’t be turned off, as the smooth velvety texture calms everything, so no one aspect dominates. Earthy nose makes this all the more fascinating. Paired extremely well with salami charcuterie plate.
