Syrah Blend 2015

This 7 year old GSM from California is still drinking nicely, although definitely not at its peak any longer.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, espresso, peppercorn and pencil lead.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Single Vineyard is easy drinking now, and good for the pool or beach.

A blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Viognier and Grenache.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$32.

Vya Vermouth Sweet Aperitif

Vermouth is just an underrated option overall as a stand-alone drink.

I like to first sip a new bottle with an ice cube to understand its flavor notes. But I think my favorite way to drink it is with club soda (Canada Dry is pretty much the best club soda with no added minerals — Topo Chico is good if you’re looking for mineralized soda water). So I add about three quarters of a standard rocks glass with club soda over a large whiskey rock style of ice and then pour vermouth directly over, watching it diffuse with the soda to etch out a light cola, dark amber, color.

This ones got notes of mocha, cinnamon, citrus, cocoa, cola, orange peel, and even some spruce.

Really just all around wonderful coffee cola sweet and savory flavors. I prefer a slightly lighter Spanish style sweet vermouth, but this is a good change up.

I agree about vermouth over ice. A nice aperitif.
