2016 Purple Star Syrah
Generous and expressive, with lively black cherry and smoky pepper flavors that take on speed toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2024. 500 cases made. — TF
Tasting notes
Black berries, plum and smoke aromas lead to black raspberry and pepper. Followed up by moderate acid structure and fine grained tannins, this wine will age well but is very approachable now.
Production notes
Grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed, retaining 60% whole berries. Hand punchdowns and pumpovers for 8-14 days depending on lots. Aged for 14 months in 100% French Oak barrels.
