Corliss Estates Syrah

Color is super dark, inky and tooth staining. Big bold wine with nose of blackberries and pepper. Taste is blackberry fruit with black pepper, minerals and chocolate. Still drinking great with smooth tannins and a medium finish. This can easily last for another 1-2 years.

Part of a magnum blow out evening, this was the best juice of the night. Smooth tannins, luscious mouthfeel, paired beautifully with rare rib eye and grilled chicken.
