2011 Mayhem Syrah

$65
Sold Out

This deep violet, inky, unfiltered Syrah was barrel fermented and hand racked for twenty-four months in American Appalachian oak barrels. The dark, rich, and deliciously intense fruit embodies the richness and full-bodied nose of dried herbs, flowers, black raspberry jam, espresso, and semi-sweet dark chocolates, resulting in the very character of this wine. Mayhem’s Syrah creates a mid-palate experience that flows across your palate with sappy red fruits, lavender and rosemary, for an elegant finish that leaves you wanting more.

Mayhem Syrah is outstanding alone or as a companion for full-bodied cheeses, and salmon, swordfish, roasted hen, turkey, grilled and smoked meats.
