Opaque purple-black in color, the 2016 Syrah Hop Barn Hill features savory aromas of blackberry jam, black cherry pie, blue fruit preserves, smoked meats and bacon fat with bitter chocolate and olive nuances—holy smokes! I could smell this all day. Full-bodied, it fills the mouth with savory dark fruits supported by very ripe, firm, fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity, with a long, ultra savory finish. Only 72 cases were made.
