Is It Arte? 2017 Syrah Spain

Description

Winemaking is a craft. It’s an active process that involves years of practice and repetition to hone a particular set of skills. Is it Arte? asks the same question of graffiti. In recent years we’ve seen an explosion of artists being shown in the biggest galleries on earth. Works from Banksy, Mr. Brainwash, and Shepard Fairey have sold for millions, moving this previously questionable practice into the mainstream. At Firstleaf we believe that winemakers are artists and that this Syrah is a work of art. With beautiful blue fruit, earth, and a subtle hint of violets this floral wine is balanced by small tastes of oak and cracked black pepper.
