2013 AJA Vineyards Syrah, Malibu Coast

When this wine hits the glass, you are greeted by a compelling bouquet with hints of blackberry, strawberry and vanilla.  A few moments later and a second swirl introduces subtle black pepper and umami.  Pleasant mid-pallet tannins and forest floor essence round out the experience. Then, this wine leaves you with a nice mocha and black cherry finish. Our Syrahs are wonderfully complex and a delight to the senses. 

Winemaker Recommendation:

Drink when opened at 55 degrees fahrenheit.

Wine Pairing:

Pair our 2013 Syrah with bacon wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese, mushroom quiche, or a delightful rack of lamb. It surely will not disappoint.
