2001 HdV Syrah (Hyde Vineyard)

The expressive and intense nose of dark fruit, cinnamon and refined flowers introduces a powerful but elegant Syrah. You'll find a true alchemy of spices, which melt around soft and seductive tannins. This is a "gipsy" wine that you may have with lamb or maybe just alone for pure pleasure.

"The wine has bright notes of black currants and dark fruits on the nose, with a touch of vanilla from oak aging. There is just a hint of smoked meat and game. It is medium bodied with a light mid-palate. The finish is clean and highlighted by subtle flavors of herbs and bright fruit."
