The 2009 Darien Syrah offers floral aromas mixed with pomegranate which fill the glass, while abundant plum and berry fruit carry across the palate. Hints of vanilla, spice and char from the French oak are layered with chocolate and the natural, earthy characteristics derived from the varietal. All of these flavors
dance on the rich, full texture of this wine, and supple tannins add depth and persistence that carry these flavors through to a long finish.
