2012 Halcon

Reverberating through every layer of the Halcon Syrah are the rocky, schist soils of this Yorkville Highlands vineyard. Dynamic and woodsy, this expressive Syrah is deeply concentrated, with brambly dark fruits and an alluring Alpine quality.  An expressive nose of violets, eucalyptus, and crushed stone frame flavors of savory salted plum and fresh blackberries. The structure is brawny with smooth tannins, promising rewards to those with the patience to cellar this wine for several years.
