Tasting notes
That characteristic squat flask. Rich, rather sweet nose but with leathery Syrah character underneath. Satisfying rendition even if nothing like the northern Rhône (where producers would presumably adore this ripeness level). Dry finish. (JR)

The 2017 PS Syrah has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and opens with a nose of bacon fat, olive, blueberry coulis, cassis and warm black cherries with notions of warm chocolate, candied violets, crushed stone and fried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with luscious, ripe dark fruits and oodles of savory and floral accents. It has a firm, finely grained frame and integrated freshness, finishing very long.
All destemmed and early bottled to showcase Syrah. Deep crimson. Slightly sweaty tobacco aromas. Easy savoury spicy red. Leathery tannins on the end. (JR)
