"Bright medium ruby. Musky, smoky aromas of black raspberry, truffle and black olive complicated by a subtle earthy perfume; today the Syrah element dominates the nose. Plush, pliant and ripe, conveying a distinctly smoky quality and meat and truffle notes throughout. Nicely integrated wine with no rough edges, finishing with noteworthy length."

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.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
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.
