"The top Syrah of the estate, the 2015 Syrah Noir is made from four barrels of Colson Canyon Syrah and one barrel of Syrah from Tensley Estate Vineyard. Brought up in 50% new French oak, it offers a killer perfume of blackberries, leafy herbs, violets and smoked meats. This gives way to a full-bodied, concentrated Syrah that has a great texture, solid mid-palate depth and building tannin. It’s another killer wine from this estate that will benefit from short term cellaring and keep for a decade or more."

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.
