The Ruins Syrah/Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

This medium-full bodied wine shows great complexity from its 2 noble varietal components: The Syrah dominates on the nose with loads of elegant white and black pepper spice and red berry fruits. The      Cabernet’s structure and length ensures a wine with backbone and enough substance to age for 2-3 years. This elegant, yet structured wine will be a great companion to spicy red meat dishes and casseroles
