2023 Meso Syrah

Willow Creek District of Paso Robles
Smoky black fruits, pepper, game, and darker, chocolaty nuances define the nose, and it's a powerful, full-bodied, decadent beauty on the palate, with sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a fleshy, layered mouthfeel. - Jeb Dunnuck

Nose
Savory, dark, brooding. Smoked meats and braised morels - screams savory umami out of the glass. Like an Italian deli, or a trip to Corti Bros. More continental Damson plum notes are strong.
Palate
So much body presence, mid-palate texture, verve, and pop. Cherries, strawberries, and pluots on the palate. The follow speaks to suckling pig and jamón ibérico. The richness covers the entire palate — plush, weighty, and even filling for a wine. Luxurious oak notes: Madagascar vanilla bean, mascarpone, cedar box/cigar box/humidor in Havana.
