This wine has a deep, inky color from the hallmark extraction of the 2013 Vintage.
The aromas offer dark red and black berry fruits, wonderfully intertwined with mocha,
chocolate and lightly toasted oak. The rich, full-bodied palate provides rounded
tannins, a big mid-palate and a fantastic finish. Drink Now through 2026.
Spicy, Fragrant, Massive, Dark Berry Fruit. The Dark Side! Our Syrah is almost onyx in color with intense aromas of blackberry, espresso and spice. The traditional Syrah core of ripe black fruit is supported by well infused tannins. A pleasurable mouth full of wine that finishes forever.

Depth-Defying Richness. This wine is offering fantastic primary aromas of rich, ripe red-berry fruit. I find undertones of sweet blond oak and light caramel. On the palate the wine is lush, with a deep core of ripe fruit on the mid-palate. From front to finish, this wine is wonderfully balanced with richness in depth of body and also in character of tannins.
The CORLEY Proprietary Red Wine represents the art of blending the depth and richness of cabernet sauvignon with the structure and spice of cabernet franc and the smooth elegance of merlot. As for 2013, I find expressive and dense aromas of dark black berries, cassis, mocha and hints of sweet toasted vanilla oak and spice tones. On the palate the full bodied wine is richly textured with robust tannins, dark ripe flavors and a finish that goes on and on. Drink from 2016-2036.
