CloseSouthern Belle “Precious” Syrah is a richly layered wine that gains added depth and character from aging in Pappy Van-Winkle bourbon barrels. These barrels, previously seasoned with bourbon, impart subtle yet distinctive notes that complement the varietal’s natural intensity without overpowering the fruit.
The nose opens with ripe blackberry and black plum, lifted by aromas of violet, vanilla, toasted oak, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the bourbon barrel influence reveals itself through hints of caramel, baking spice, and a gentle smoky sweetness, integrating seamlessly with the wine’s dark fruit core.
Full-bodied and smooth, the wine shows polished tannins and balanced acidity, with savory undertones of black olive and cocoa adding complexity. The finish is long and structured, carrying lingering notes of spice, oak, and dark fruit.
Southern Belle “Precious” Syrah pairs exceptionally well with grilled or smoked meats, barbecue, braised short ribs, and rich stews. The bourbon barrel aging adds warmth and depth, making this wine especially appealing to fans of bold reds and whiskey-influenced flavor profiles alike.
