there's a lot to love in this bottling for those who enjoy cooler-climate syrah. but the tons of cracked black pepper, asphalt and gamy funk meet with enough elderberry and lavender to appeal to others as well. the palate packs a wide array of flavors, from anise to lavender to cracked peppercorn, with savory tar, dried elderberry and even some elderflower showing as well.
