Tasting Notes

The Jemrose has layers of silky smooth tannins that coat the palate and a crisp acidity that gives the wine structural depth and complexity that carries through the finish. There are aromas of red berries and strawberry preserve, with hints of all spice and vanilla. This wine will be at its best with a few hours of decanting.

Tasting Notes

The Nolan Syrah exhibits a soft entry that glides across the palate and finishes with depth and complexity. The initial aromas of subtle espresso and mocha break away to ripe dark berries. There are hints of roasted meat and white pepper lying underneath. This wine will be at its best after a few hours of decanting.
