Haskell Pillars (SVS) Syrah 2008

Soft red colour with vibrant pink edges. The nose is very aromatic with flavour of white pepper, rose petals, violets and rich red cherries. The pallet has a soft attack with velvety tannins and a subtle creamy texture. Lingering aftertaste, with the same flavours as on the nose.
