"Vivid purple. Deep-pitched aromas of spice-tinged dark fruit liqueur, incense, vanilla, violet and smoked meat, along with olive paste and cola nuances. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit preserve, mocha, candied licorice and violet pastille flavors that are brightened by a subtle mineral flourish. Supple and broad on the long, floral-dominated finish, which is shaped by smooth, steadily building tannins. There's a decadent quality to this wine that might not be to everyone's taste, but it would pair fabulously with braised lamb or venison dishes."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
