Marietta Syrah 1996

The 1996 Syrah displays the typical round, forward characteristics of the vintage; yet, has admirable depth and complexity. This blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah beefs-up its structure and adds a slight, earthy component. A small percentage of Grenache adds a spark of fresh aromatics. In its youth, this Syrah has lots of energy and may be enjoyed now for those who crave intense, yet lush, wines.
