Nose
Blueberries, blackberries, and baking spices erupt from the glass of the 2018 Estate Syrah.
Palate
The palate is soft and rich, creating the mouth-coating texture that makes Syrah from the west side of Paso Robles so popular. The mid-palate features layers of currant, boysenberry, and a hint of caramel
