Alzania Syrah (2019) – After initial fermentation in stainless, the wine is transferred into both new French Allier oak and second use American oak for around one year, and then spends several years in bottle before it is ready for release to the market. The resulting color is rich and dark, giving way to gorgeous aromas of fresh currant, blackberry, mature red and black fruit, olive, pork fat, and a touch of balsamic. The palate follows suit well with driven fruit, a full-body, remarkably high acidity, and a long incredible finish.
