Nose
A beguiling floral nose with chocolate undertones hints at the leaner vintage that was 2011.
Palate
As the wine envelopes the palate, blackberries, mocha and a hint of truffle are revealed in soft aromatic layers. The mouth feel is crisp, tart and spicy. With age this vintage will mature easily over the next decade or so.
Growing Conditions
The small block of syrah we have at Regusci leans towards a flavor profile associated with France and the 2011 vintage delivers!
Aging
18 months in American oak.
Food Pairing
When pairing, think on the rich and gamey side such as wild rabbit ragu over pappardelle pasta.
