Unworldly, the portion of whole cluster fermented Syrah exudes green herbs and spices like dill, sage, and thyme, black peppercorns and jerky, while the Tempranillo delivers a punch of black cherry/currant preserves, soy sauce, raisins, and fresh dough that lead into subtle accents of clove, salty roasted mixed nuts, raspberries, cedar, and molasses.
