Turkovich Family Wines

Yolo County Syrah Viognier 2012

Tastes like too much skin contact. The Viognier is invisible. Sweet dried prunes and cough syrup. No tannin. No thanks. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago

MacRostie Winery & Vineyards

Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Syrah 2007

Green and stemmy with exotic oak spices. Cardamom and garam masala. Damp wet barrel. Good balance! Complex and well integrated. A complete surprise that this wine is 8 years old. Lots of room to grow and open. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago

Larkmead Vineyards

Napa Valley Syrah 2007

No mojo. Very blah. Smells like Napa oak and tastes like watery cab. Short finish. Should have opened this 4 years ago. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago

Château de Saint-Cosme

Saint-Joseph Serine 2011

Meat, oak and char. A little reductive. Grippy with lots of fruit and roasted coffee. Rich acid gives a forward thrust. Good finish. In the beginning of its life. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago

Yorba

Shake Ridge Vineyards Syrah 2007

Cooked plums and blueberries. Some elegant barrel influence still stands. Beautifully balanced. Lots and dense, fine tannin and juicy acid. Extremely well integrated. May have missed optimum drinking by a year. #syrah #amador #tinyhousetastinggroup #bestoftheevening — 10 years ago

Wind Gap Wines

Nellessen Vineyard Syrah 2012

Black fruit jam, warm spice, lanolin and violet. Lots of vanilla oak. Very smooth and clean. Medium finish. Not typical Syrah. Grows into itself with time in the glass. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago
