The Syrah grape finds its natural home in a hot climate such as this, on this sun-baked island in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. In the 2015 Sicilia Syrah Lusirà, you'll feel ripeness at the back and lots of sweetness in between. Spicy and thick, there is ample black fruit with exotic seasonings from the 14 months spent in French oak. This hot vintage comes close to going over the line in terms of ripeness and extraction, as the results are slightly heavy and definitely very expansive and wide. I am suggesting a slightly shorter drinking window as a result. There were 11,413 bottles made.
