Presqu'ile Vineyard
Our 100% estate Syrah is quintessentially cool climate. Wild and gamey, aromas of black pepper, flint, graphite, roasted herbs, sandalwood and spice cake dominate the nose. Blueberry, spice, pepper and cassis are accentuated by surprisingly fine tannin for this variety. Lively, balanced acidity and a long finish round out this wine, leaving a strong desire to taste again.
