from a producer to watch in underrated lodi, this intense, black cherry, bacon-fat and white peppery syrah has an almost peat-like, whisky aroma at first, very inviting, which then leads into more bacon and pepper that carries through on the palate, balanced by extremely smooth tannins and an unexpected elegance. a really cool syrah to try on its own that'll go very nicely with meaty, wintery foods.
