2018 Chateau St. Jean Reserve Syrah, Sonoma County

Purple and richly hued, this opulent wine makes an immediate, big impression with juicy aromas and flavors of black currant and wild blackberry, with accents of violet, citrus spice and cassis. Distinct notes of white pepper and dark chocolate lead to a silky mouthfeel with velvety tannins, full, rich and dense with a long, lingering finish.
