This Wine Your Palate
Lucky You, a linked Palate Character!

This is a predominantly Round & Fleshy wine, but it shares structural nuances of Tone & Backbone as described in the tasting note below.

Tasting Notes
Medium plus bodied Syrah with the juiciness of round and fleshy, but enough structure to appeal as well to tone and backbone. It has layers of blackberry and cherry fruit, lavender, black olives, smoke, and black pepper in the aromatic profile.

100% See-RA
Syrah is widely planted throughout the world, but that was not so until the late twentieth century when Syrah was principally grown in the Rhone Valley and, as Shiraz, in Australia. Stylistically, the Palate Character of Syrah can vary depending on ripeness from a rich Round & Fleshy, Tone & Backbone, to a Powerful & Extracted. The flavors and aromas can also vary with a dark, sometimes sweet, fruit character, varying amount of spice, floral, and earth, and smoke, and meaty aromas and flavors.
