Production: three barrels (75 cases). $33/bottle. PURCHASE
2010 Syrah, Sonoma County Dark ruby with a magenta rim. Aromas of plum, pomegranate, and mocha merge with notes of grilled meat and pipe tobacco.

Well balanced with nice tannins and good acidity, this is an excellent choice for anything off the grill! Bottled after twelve months in one year old French oak barrels. Production: three barrels (78 cases). $28/bottle. PURCHASE
