2023 VGS Syrah MOUNT VEEDER

Alluring aromas of sweet, candied violets, dark cherries jubilee, cranberry, fig and crushed stones leap from the glass.

On the palate, it is loaded with dark Bing cherries, plums, and Christmas baking spices. This is a very multi-dimensional and focused wine. The attack in the mouth is classic Hermitage…you feel the ripeness of fruit accented & followed by an earthy minerality framed by fine grain tannins. Aromatically it is intoxicating, from saffron to black truffles with a woody forest essence. The finish is so compelling; it has incredible length with brilliant acidity without being too heavy.

Recommended Food Pairings: Lamb Ragu with Pappardelle Pasta, Syrah Braised Beef Short Rib & Classic Coq Au Vin.
