Holus Bolus 2012 Syrah

This wine’s saturated dark red color is complimented by opening aromas of green olives, spices and smoked meat. With some air the aromas turn a bit more floral, think violets and earthy-like worn leather. Medium-bodied in the mouth, with good length, acidity, and flavors of blackberries and raspberries mixed with green peppercorns. Not overtly tannic or overly concentrated but good structure and length that will stay on the palate for some time. Aged in two and three-year old French oak barrels for 15 months.
