Alpha Estate, Florina Syrah Xinomavro Merlot 2017

Deep ruby color with purple hints. Powerful, pungent aromas of sweet cherry, candied plum and toasty vanilla oak. Full bodied and deep in dark fruit flavors, with a peppery and strong oak spicy accents background. The solid tannins build through the finish but there is plenty of supporting depth of fruit here, not to mention a bright acid lift on the back that adds energy.
