This exquisite Syrah encompasses the robust flavors and characteristics to be expected from Destiny Ridge Vineyard. The fruit is hand-picked and fermented with 25% whole clusters to achieve a beautifully balanced wine. On the nose, vanilla and clove are warm and inviting. Ripe plum and blackberry reveal themselves both aromatically and on the palate. The elegant flavors integrate seamlessly with hints of earthiness and black currant. Dark chocolate and sweet cigar work with the plush tannins giving the mouthfeel a firm yet velvety structure.

Love this wine so much I gave it as Christmas gifts.

Not being one to wax poetic about any wine, or spirit, I bought a case of the 2016 vintage and liked it so much I have bought two cases of the 2017 since then. At $28/bottle this beauty has become my "go to" wine whether with dinner, or as a casual conversational/social distancing elixir. This is a truly good wine and I recommend it highly!

One of my all time favorite wines. Would give it more stars if I could.

My niece introduced me to this one last month and I just absolutely love it. The only issue is that I'm in California and the wine is a Washington local so it's uber hard to find around here. I absolutely love wine red. So far is one of my favorites. The price is fair as well. I find that some local wineries charge more with less taste. This one is very smooth. Definitely will be ordering more in the future.
