2015 Copain Syrah Hawks Butte

A dark, powerful wine, the 2015 Syrah Hawks Butte presents an exotic mélange of inky fruit, bittersweet chocolate, iron, blood, gravel, black pepper, juniper berry and blackberry jam. Rich, unctuous and potent, the 2015 is long on depth and fruit texture. The potent tannins need time to soften, but this is nicely done. Readers should expect a virile, brooding style.
