Charles Smith
M.C.K. (Motor City Kitty) Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Mmm.. single vineyard Syrah named after Charles Smith's cat.. and for good reason - this thing purrrrrs. The nose is awesome and screams old world Syrah - roasted herbs, jalapeño, black licorice, mushroom, brambly black fruit and mint, all enveloped by waves of hickory smoke and charcoal. Seductively smooth and inviting on the palate. Not overtly heavy, but packs just the right amount of punch with some soft minerality and refreshing acidity. Great wine, well worth the money.

Getting a little tired... little fruit left, but enjoyable all the same.

Not as wild as some of the other Kvinterns syrah's but still very enjoyable!

Terrific full-bodied syrah with an earthy nose.
