NY - Lake Erie

Size: 750ml - Bottle

This full-bodied, dry red spent 20 months in French barrels to achieve a robust, medium oak intensity. Elegantly rich in varietal character, this Syrah expresses notes of blackberry and tomato leaf, finishing in spicy flavors of pepper and the sweetness of cherry cola. Soft balancing tannins help create fine pairings with grilled meats, sausage, roasted game and casseroles.
