TASTING NOTES:
“Seductive aromas of violets and black currant are interwoven with savory notes of black olive and smoked meat. On the palate; bramble, plum and cherry leading to a densely-packed tannic matrix that lingers. This Syrah (co-fermented with 10% Viognier) manages to be at once wild and sophisticated. And with so many tightly packed layers in its youth, this wine benefits from 2-3 hours of decanting.” (AbV 14.9%, pH 3.73, TA 5.4 g/L)

BARRELS:
16 months in neutral French oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED VIDEO to contemplate in anticipation of this wine:
So there’s a guy in the video game series Metal Gear Solid named Vamp and he’s… he’s something.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Being like a vampire but not really.

How are you buying your bottles?

Would you ever refer to a wine's features as "seductive?"
