description: Black as night in the glass, this packs a bit of mystery behind its opaque coloring. There is an intriguing funk on the nose, mushroom-like with a lift of sagebrush but bordering on rich meat. The flavors begin with blackberry before the tannins overtake the mouth with ferocious viscosity—even more than two hours after being opened. There is something special about this wine, but it may take serious decanting to unlock the gate.
variety: Syrah
