Wine Expert Note:

This Fess Parker Rodney's Vineyard Syrah is a bold and intense red. Bold aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and currant mingle with warm notes of white pepper and leather. The palate is full and juicy, with flavors of raspberry and blackberry that linger on the finish. The tannins are firm yet balanced, and the acidity is bright, adding to the complexity of this full-bodied wine. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years.
