A single-vineyard Syrah from Sun Sun Winery's Kakizawa estate in Shiojiri, Nagano, grown on a west-facing slope at 840-864m elevation. Aromas of black pepper, cassis and plum lead into a wine with soft fruit and calm acidity — a cool-climate expression of Syrah with an elegant finish.
Proof that Nagano's cool climate can tame Syrah's power into something genuinely elegant — this bottle punches well above its everyday price.
