Tasting Notes
The Jack Syrah hit the jackpot with this release. Chances are, you will find that this rich, expressive Syrah overdelivers in quality! The vineyards sources read like a who’s who in Washington State. Full-bodied, with a plush mouthfeel, the wine bursts with delicious aromas and flavors of black cherry, charcuterie, orange peel, olives, and anise. The finish goes on forever, like a night in Las Vegas.
