PlumpJack Winery's Napa Valley Syrah is a charming symphony of complex aromas and flavours. This velvety wine offers an opulent blend of blackcurrant, raspberry, and pepper, stunningly framed by intricate layers of spice, vanilla, and hint of leather. The alluring bouquet leads to a well-structured body, presenting impeccably balanced tannins and acidity. Aged in French oak, it wraps up with an impressively long, enduring finish. A perfect partner for mature cheeses and succulent steaks, this Syrah from Napa Valley is a quintessential expression of Californian terroir, marked by refinement and sophistication.

Tasting Notes

Inky dark colour, aromas of black pepper and cherries, on the palate, soft, grainy-textured tannins and bright acidity. Lush plum, berries, cocoa, and peppercorns with a hint of grilled meat, full-bodied and rich yet with a firm backbone of tannin and acidity, and great lenght.
