This Sans Liege Wines Groundwork Syrah is an intense and captivating expression of Syrah.On the nose are ripe blackberry and blueberry aromas intermingled with notes of smoke, dried herbs, and cracked pepper. The palate is full-bodied, with juicy black fruit flavors that are complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco, and baking spices. The wine is well-structured, with well-integrated tannins, and a long, lingering finish. It is an excellent example of a classic California Syrah.
