Limited new Altagracia Syrah from cult producer Aruajo. On the nose, floral notes of violet, lavender and jasmine mix with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, smoked meat and white pepper. On the palate, the generous core of ripe berry and roasted game is set on a firm, structured frame and balanced with fine tannins. Spicy notes of anise and black pepper enliven the long, mineral finish. Notes winemaker Nigel Kinsman: This Syrah is a highly fragrant wine loaded with scents of dark berries nuanced by hints of white pepper. The palate exhibits precision and energy—elegant tannins support a sweet core of fruit, while the mineral and floral elements add liveliness and complexity. 96% Syrah Eisele Vineyard , 4% Viognier Eisele Vineyard Napa Valley

Not sure this is a prime example of Syrah. Has earthy and cola aromas plus chocolate. However has some sour cream and beef jerky bouquet as well. Sharp in the mouth and very bitter.
