Donelan, Obsidian Syrah Brut Zero this wine seems to workMedium to deep garnet in color, the 2013 Syrah Obsidian Vineyard is very savory on the nose with notions of smoked meats, truffles, pepper and sauted herbs with a beautiful floral background of lilacs and roses plus touches of forest floor and espresso. The palate is full bodied, rich, concentrated and opulent with firm, rounded tannins and great freshness, finishing very long. Wow!
