Darkness in a glass. Pepper and blackberry blueberry boysenberry

Syrah is a powerful, remarkably distinct and boisterous varietal. It's arguably the most aromatic of wines, and a good nose is always a pleasure, as long as a little barnyard earth tickles your fancy when a Syrah is doing the tickling. A good Syrah is meaty, and rich in iron and basks in pepper. It's a bit of an animal at its best. If you have a good touch of fruit running through its masculine veins, a delicious Syrah is in your glass. It's not that common to have a Syrah aged in all neutral oak, and standing on its own with no other varietal blended in, but the STORYOFSOIL Syrah was made to exhibit the grape in its raw grandeur. Heavy extraction was never an intention; big weighty Syrah would rob the sense of place and nuance of the fruit; masculine power is at its most effective when still subtle. One fun fact about this Syrah is how frightening it was to deal with in the initial bottling. Syrah can go through all sorts of fits and changes when you bottle it, and you have to step back and trust where it will end up on its journey.
