"an inky/dark purple/garnet, and notes of road tar, camphor, truffles, blackberry liqueur, figs, and incense, it is a wild, exotic, thick-textured offering that is clearly more Amarone than dry table wine. This is not for everybody (especially those incapable of thinking âoutside the boxâ), but it is unquestionably an impeccably well-made example of a completely different stylistic spin on Syrah. I wouldnât be surprised to see it last for a couple of decades."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
