2019 Red Willow Syrah

Deep, inky purple wine with a rich bouquet of ripe dark fruits like blackberries and plums, complemented by earthy undertones of leather and tobacco, and hints of black pepper and lavender. On the palate, it delivers robust flavors of dark berries, plum, and blueberry, layered with black pepper, clove, smokiness, and subtle herbal notes. The wine is full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel, firm yet smooth tannins, and medium to high acidity that adds freshness and balance. It finishes long and lingering, combining dark fruit, spice, and earthy elements, making it an excellent match for grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses.
