Cayuse, Armada Syrah other_regions This elegant Barolo is highlightedThis 2. 8ha vineyard was planted in 2001, with vines grafted on rootstock because Baron expected phylloxera to arrive eventually, which happened in 2019. The wine is all Syrah, with aromas that veer towards the meaty, smoky, bacon fat spectrum of the variety. Right now the flavours are tightly wound, deep and intense, but also pure and juicy, with a smooth, almost syrupy, satiny texture.
