Om vinen (producentens tekst, engelsk): 2021 Growing Season The long, sunny 2021 summer created a beautiful growing season for our Syrah. The fruit developed deep color and clean, bold, and elegant aromas and flavors. Om vinen (producentens tekst, engelsk): Winemaker’s Comments “This is a stylish Relentless offering vivid, lush aromas and flavors of meatiness over a juicy core of black plum, dark chocolate, white pepper, blackberry, and savory spice. The mouthfeel is full and liquid-velvet with a tension and finesse that is a 2021 hallmark. The finish lingers on and on. This is a terrific candidate for many years in the cellar.” — Elias Fernandez, Shafer Vineyards Winemaker
