Estate Vineyards Syrah
Lovely, balanced expression of Syrah with just enough complexity to engage the head and the heart.

Apr 13th, 2016This Syrah, NOT Grenache! Please, Delectable, give us the ability to edit mistakes!! Anyway, where was I? Right! This was probably a very good wine two or three years ago. But it does not seem to have aged well, and everything seems a bit faded: the fruit, the tannins, and backbone -- making it soft, flabby, and shy on fruit. By the glass at Cindy's Backstreet kitchen in St. Helena.
