Ochota Barrels Syrah The Shellac Vineyard 2014

The nose opens with smoke-inflected notes of cherry and blackberry, complemented by candied floral tones that gain additional spice and mineral complexity as the wine breathes. The palate displays impressive density, layering dark berry preserves with violet pastille across a framework of bracing acidity that provides essential lift. This is Syrah of notable concentration yet equally impressive vibrancy, finishing with precise delineation and supple tannins that integrate seamlessly into the energetic fruit core.
