2014 Elephant Seven River Rock Vineyard Syrah
Medium ruby red. Intense nose with fresh forest floor on the attack which was then flooded with dark blueberries and dark raspberries, purple floral notes and with a smoky undertone. Even a bit of baking spices throughout. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Mix of gaminess and blueberries on the attack of the palate. Great structure with red cherries, spices and herbs. More layers of black olives as it breathes with solid dark rocks in the finish. Long and lingering finish.
Inaugural vintage for Elephant Seven Winery, this specific bottling is the River Rock Syrah made of 100% Syrah.
