Tasting notes
The 2021 "IX Estate" Syrah combines intensity with a touch of poetry. Captivating mineral and floral notes bring excitement upon first impressions, while juicy blackberry, licorice, and bouquet garni charm the senses. Silky layers of tannin embrace the palate with coating layers, in an unctuous textural experience. A long aromatic finish lingers with flavors of cocoa nib and wildflowers.
