Nichol Vineyards Syrah 750ml
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Dark, purple/ruby. Game, leather, lilac and fennel on the nose. Medium to full bodied palate with dark cherry fruit, sweet leather, licorice and pepper. Very driven and focused vintage for the syrah. Tannins are already well integrated though substantial and the acidity plays a very supportive role. Now - 2025
