The 2017 Sentience has classic Syrah fruit aromas of purple plums, black currants, and brambly blackberry are combined on the nose and palette with brooding savory notes of black olives, bresaola, sage, and roasted meats. After nearly two years in barrel and three years in bottle, this well-structured wine has developed velveteen tannins, supple mid- palette volume, and a generously long finish.
