Aromas of ripe plum, bacon fat, leather and sage. In the mouth quite rich without being ponderous. Nice purity, good acidity, moderate tannins. Hard to resist now but will reward a few years of age. A note on why we release Great Oak before the Trenton Estate: while a lot of conventional wisdom would suggest releasing more elegant wines first, I have found that, generally speaking, our more elegant wines take more time to show what they got! Both of these syrahs will definitely continue to age well; - however, the Great Oak is generally showier and more generous in its youth. 122 cases bottled.
