Tasting Notes
If you are looking for a great Rhone-style blend at a great price…The Jack Syrah is your best bet! This well-rounded Syrah is enriched by the 8% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre. The aromas are appealing, with notes of red and black fruit, wood spice, orange peel, olives, and anise. It offers generous fruit flavors that are complemented by polished tannins.
