Blend consisting of 55% Syrah and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium+ intensity aromas with black pepper, black fruit, floral, currant and oak notes. It's medium-to-full bodied and elegantly styled with pleasing aroma replays and some purple fruit notes mid-palate. Has very good, balanced acids. Tannins could use 1-2 years to soften, but enjoyable now. Finish is long and smooth. Tasted Mar/2015. Score: 89+ pts
