Practifi Syrah Release Notes
BY ALLISON LASLEY
Practifi
We’re excited to share with you new product features and integration capabilities as part of our recent release, Practifi Syrah.
Full-bodied and with an abundance of dark fruity flavors, Syrah wines are known to pack a punch. Strong hints of sweet blackberry, licorice or black olives hit first, and then the flavors slowly taper off to leave you with light, memorable notes of spice and pepper. With such a bold front-approach, Syrah wines are often blended with other grapes to smooth out the mid-palate.
Similarly, Practifi Syrah is full of bold and memorable flavors. With exciting enhancements and new features from both product and integrations, the final result will leave a lasting impression.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more, your Client Success Manager will be happy to help.
