On the palate, this wine showcases a medium to full body with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, with additional layers of blackcurrants and a touch of cocoa. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing a gentle toastiness that adds complexity to the wine. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruits and a hint of black pepper. It pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.

Firestone Syrah is produced from grapes grown in the Santa Ynez Valley of the Central Coast of California. The grapes are crushed to liberate the juice, then fermented on skins with heavy extraction to create a bold, tannic and deeply colored wine. The wine is matured for around 2 years in French and Hungarian oak, a proportion of which is new, which contributes oak spice to complement the rich flavors of dark fruit, pepper spice, and smokiness.
