The Clayhouse Syrah 2014 is an elegant red wine that is full of ripe berry and spice. The nose displays aromas of sweet violets, cloves, licorice, and sun-ripened blackberry. These aromas effortlessly introduce the palate, which is ripe with raspberry, blackberry, and undertones of anise. This wine is medium-bodied and soft, with tannins that are beautifully integrated. The finish is light and lingering, with hints of smoke, spice, and vanilla.  Enjoy this red wine on a relaxing evening with good company. It will pair well with a variety of dinner menus.
