Full berry aromas with spice on the side form a good opening. It’s a full, tight wine on the palate with oaky, meaty, almost foresty flavors of blackberry, spice and mint. Racy, drying, tasty and good given that one finds few Syrah-Bonarda blends to pick from.

Tropical aromas of lychee and melon are bright but a little oily. The palate is round and honest in feel and acidity, with pineapple, lemon, tangerine and lychee flavors. Sweet and spunky on the finish; drink immediately.

Salinic and minerally on the nose, with a hint of peach. The palate is wet and light, however the flavors run stalky and tart, with green banana and bitterness leading to a chalky finish. Quaffable.
