Tasting note
blackberry, plum, cherry; savory spice; granite-driven minerality; vibrant acidity; tannins provide structure without heaviness; depth and lift, power and elegance
From the importer's sheet, in its own words, shortened.
Winemaking
From the US importer's tech sheet for the 2024 vintage. Only what the sheet prints.
- Made
- Syrah picked in three passes, 20%, 30%, and 50% whole bunch; Carignan split fermentations, 50% whole bunch; native yeast-driven; Grenache fully crushed
- The importer suggests
- A versatile partner for food, Dark Leap pairs beautifully with grilled meats, slow-braised dishes, spiced lamb, and hearty vegetarian fare.
Awards
None published.
Structure
A bar appears only where the producer published a number. Measured figures come from the producer's technical sheet; the body bar is inferred from alcohol and labelled that way.
This producer publishes none of these numbers for this wine, so no bar is drawn. None of the producer technical sheets behind these wines publishes tannin as a number, so no wine gets a tannin bar.
