Tasting notes

Syrah and Viognier, co-fermented and loved up with a deep smooch of Cabernet Sauvignon, shines in our 2018 Ruckus Syrah.Deep black and blue fruited with notes of menthol, stone, all wrapped in firm silky tannins. From vaunted vineyards: Ciel du Cheval, Discovery and Kiona. Delectable in its youth and destined for a long and increasingly complex life, we expect it to evolve as far as the eye can see, or longer.

Food pairing: Classic French country cassoulet, vegetarian Shepherd’s pie
