Notes "Bottled young to preserve freshness and then aged in bottle to soften, the 2015 Yorkville Highlands Syrah is in a great place and ready to drink. It’s soft, spicy, floral and savory - mouth filling but not heavy. This wines screams for food and friends and should be hitting its peak right as grill season is upon us.
