The 2017 Lava Cap Syrah is robust, bold, and has the most amazing finish that displays a complex array of flavors. On the nose, hints of prosciutto and sage open to cherry cola, complimenting the rich and intriguing flavors of dense bright candied cherry and black olive. This wine barrel aged for 32 months in second fill French oak, allowing the tannin structure to mature into a velvety texture on the finish. A wine that does well with age, aging 3-5 years while building more complex earth and forest flavors on the nose and palate. Drink young if you prefer the robust and grippy tannin structure in red wines.
