A bright, vivacious, juicy and fruit-driven style, loaded with boysenberries. Tart and racy, this has just a hint of a gamy undertone. The finish has smooth, silky tannins, and plenty of staying power.

This is pure varietal, about one fifth new oak. From young vines, it’s sharp-toned, dark and juicy. Cassis, dark chocolate and coffee showcase a wine with a strong grip, tight and tannic. This needs time, but the fruit is crisply defined and immaculate; the varietal character peeks through in a hint of tanned leather.

This bottling immediately shows a strong new barrel influence, though only a single barrel out of five total was unused. The toasty, coffee grounds flavors lie comfortably over the top of the plummy, dark purple fruit. Young and plump, packed with flavor, this is the more ageworthy of the two Kerloo Syrahs. It also seems to show more of the gamy, earthy side of the grape.
