Dark plum and cherry notes on the nose with an abundance of savory herb, and hints of graphite, wet stone and grilled meats. Full and round on the palate, with a rich, dense midpalate framed by ample, velvety tannins that leads to a long, savory finish.

WINE ENTHUSIAST
“For 15% abv, the La Bruère feels fairly light on its feet. The wine’s complex aromas include baked acorn squash, hay in the loft and a heaping helping of sweet blackberries. This fuller-bodied Syrah offers a combination of black cherries, dark chocolate and a small amount of juniper berries.”
