A beautifully aromatic wine with ripe blueberry and fresh fig. A lingering of leather, black pepper and spice. A palette focused with mild tannins and minerals, a structured wine with a soft lingering finish leaving you with hints of violets. This Syrah shows Matthews move toward a cooler climate style, with subtlety and layers of game and beef blood. This wine should age beautifully for the next 4-6 years.
