2002 Syrah
Our 2002 Monterey Syrah is from our cool-climate Mesa del Rio Vineyard. Concentrated aroma and flavors of blackberry jam are the heart of this ***spirited wine***. The bouquet is rounded out with earthy notes accented by an intriguing hint of spice.

Nice, easy drinking red ***wine with character***. Plum aroma with cherry, coffee, plum and mocha flavours, particularly prevalent in the aftertaste.
