Deep purple ruby core with black secondary color, and a plum rim with slow forming, moderately stained tears. Aromatic and complex with black cherry, blackberry and currant fruit mixed with sweet spice, dusty leather, smoke and cracked pepper. Full bodied, with ripe black cherry and blackberry jam fruit mixed with vanilla and cinnamon barrel spice on the entry and pleasant slightly rustic elements of smoky leather, dried herbs, black pepper, and sustained dusty fruit on the midpalate. The finish is long and fresh with lingering fruit mixed with complex sweet spice and oak and savory elements mixed with chewy tannins that focus the wine’s many flavors and textures nicely. This is a bold wine displaying uncommon table manners with the Cabernet giving elegance to the Syrah, making it a wide ranging pairing wine for most bold flavored foods. Whether you try it with BBQ beef ribs Texas style, or a Ratatouille, you’ll see that the SAVANT makes the best of a wide range of situations.
