This is winemaker Chris Peterson's (Avennia) debut wine with this project. Despite the red-wine label, it's almost all Syrah with just pinches of Viognier (2%) and Roussanne (1%). It opens with aromas of dark fruit, incense, barrel spice and orange peel that lead to palate-coating, exuberant cherry flavors that carry on the finish. Far from a big bruiser, it's more about finesse and detail, though it shows plenty of depth.
