2017 Mendocino Syrah

This captivating red wine showcases a full-bodied character that invites you in with its lush, dark fruit notes. The acidity strikes a delightful balance, presenting a refreshing quality that vibrantly lifts the wine, while the tannins offer a firm structure, lending itself to both immediate enjoyment and potential for further aging.
