Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Dreadnought Syrah has intense baking spice and black pepper notes over ripe blackberry, kirsch plus some toasty oak, vanilla and anise. Very crisp in the mouth with a medium level of rounded tannins, this generously fruited, full bodied Syrah gives a long and slightly oaky finish. Consider drinking now through 2016.
