Beckmen Vineyards Syrah Purisima Mountain Vineyard 2017

Dark chocolate, plum, blackberry, vanilla, black pepper, grilled meats, and game are hallmarks of Purisima Mountain Syrah. Its deep ruby color is followed by a rocking bouquet of blackberries, wild strawberries, olive tapenade, lavender, and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, silky, polished, and elegant, it has a terrific mix of freshness and richness, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. 

Lovely aromas of candied boysenberry, dark red cherry, crushed lavender, cracked white pepper and dried sage sticks show on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard located high above the Ballard Canyon appellation. There is a great freshness on the palate, where flavors of lavender and violet meet with peppery spice, berry fruit and a tarry edge.
