The inky purple-black colored 2015 Syrah Chico's Hill opens with pronounced crème de cassis, baked blackberries, tar and smoky bacon notes with wafts of black pepper, potpourri and fertile loam. The ultra full-bodied, pedal-to-the-metal palate gives loads of spicy black fruit preserves and a notably chewy texture, with balanced freshness and a very long, pepper-laced finish. Only 18 cases produced.
