Something magical happens when premium Ballard Canyon Syrah ages a few extra years in the bottle. 

This velvety red matured to have layers upon layers that melded balance, a stiff backbone, mouth-coating smoothness and subtly sweet dark tannins. Whatever it is you like in a wine, this wine has an element of it masterfully in tune with whatever your wine drinking cohorts like in a wine.
