A bigger, more powerful, masculine-styled release, the 2020 Syrah Powerline Vineyard (100% Syrah) sports a deeper ruby/plum hue as well as medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe black and blue fruits, ground pepper, violets, and smoked meats. It brings lots of concentration and power but stays elegant and balanced, with beautiful tannins.

Focused and sturdy with black-fruited aromas, the 2020 Syrah Powerline opens to notes of spiced black plums and dark cherry essence with spicy and elegant red and purple flowers. Full-bodied, the palate is fresh and mineral-driven with notes of bacon, almonds and freshly opened flowers before notes of plum compote and cured sausage linger over the juicy, food-friendly finish. Give it a try.

The 2020 Syrah Powerline is a bit restrained, showing dusty rose and crushed stone nuances. It's round and lifted on the palate, with a pretty elegance and savory core of red fruits and spices. It finishes with a tinge of salty minerals, leaving a resonance of black currant and savory herbs that linger.
Winemaker Notes
Dark and brooding yet still elegant and refined. Intriguing from start to finish. Black plum, toasted herbs, leather and nori linger with lavender, saline and earth galore. It has so much more to give. Sit back and be awestricken.
