The 2010 Syrah Seven is comprised of 92% Syrah, 5% Grenache and the balance Mourvedre and Viognier. Spending 22 months in 42% new French oak, it dishes up beautiful aromas and flavors of smoky black fruits, bacon fat, spice and dark chocolate along with a medium-bodied, rich and concentrated palate. Ripe tannin and clean acidity frame the finish here nicely and this beauty will evolve gracefully through 2020. Drink now-2020.
