AJA Vineyards 2016 Syrah

AJA Vineyards' flagship wine, the 2016 Syrah is compelling, rich, and wonderfully complex, produced from the family's Malibu Coast estate vineyard. On the nose, a floral bouquet is heightened by hints of blackberry, dark cherry, strawberry and vanilla with just a touch of black pepper in the background. Pleasant and well structured tannins support the palate and lead into a long mocha finish.
