Floral violet laden nose frames a core of bright blackberry and pomegranate fruit. White pepper and savory, herbal flavors add a bass note that is fully present on the palate with additional leather, iron, and braised meat aromas. The Cep Syrah is medium bodied with medium intensity, low alcohol, clean acidity and a medium to long finish. Crozes-Hermitage in a very good year without the ripe berry character; a very good value.
