Aril Syrah Napa Atlas Peak 2012
Offers sumptuous aromas of plum, cherry, blackberry jam, with a savory backbone. Showing spectacular balance, it presents subtle minerality and meatiness around a core of pure dark fruit. This is a fabulous bottle of wine now and will continue to drink well over the next 10 years.
Aril Winery
Joanne and Harmon met in Telluride, Colorado, where he was running a popular restaurant, and she was heavily involved in the Telluride Foundation. They began to talk of food and wine, and then of many other things. What started as a romance grew into a strong partnership and a dream. Harmon had run a winery in Napa, and Joanne had always loved the classic Syrahs of the Rhone Valley and Provence…wines enjoyed by connoisseurs and French Kings.
