Zellerbach Estates Syrah 2014

A deep garnet hue introduces the Zellerbach Estates Syrah, offering a bouquet of black cherry, plum, and cracked black pepper, underscored by hints of violet and smoked meat. The palate is robust and full-bodied, with a velvety texture that reveals layers of dark fruit, anise, and a whisper of leather. Well-integrated tannins provide structure, while a vibrant acidity ensures balance and a lingering finish. This Syrah exemplifies the bold, expressive character of its region, promising both immediate enjoyment and potential for graceful aging over the next decade.
