2019 Dirt Worshipper MAGNUM
98% Syrah, 2% Roussanne
Inky and powerful, the 2019 Dirt Worshipper boasts a nose filled with crushed blackberries, violets, smoked brisket and green pepper. On the midpalate, Intense flavors of olive tapenade, Sassafras, blueberries, menthol and espresso intermingle. The finish starts dense but lightens up with elegant tannins that melt into a long driving vein of salinity.
