Tasting notes
Deep ruby. Intense smoke- and spice-accented aromas of fresh dark berries and violet, with a hint of minerality in the background. At once ripe and lively, with penetrating blackberry and boysenberry flavors becoming fleshier with air. Silky tannins give shape and grip to the spicy, floral, dark berry finish. (JR)

The 2011 Syrah Estate Les Titans is a little deeper and richer than the La Bruma, yet also possesses good tension and energy. Firm tannins support a core of dark red and black plums, mint, savory herbs and licorice. The flavors show plenty of definition, but here, too, the challenges of the vintage are apparent.
