Jul 3rd, 2016I love the versatility of Syrah. From bright and abrasive, to deep and inky, this varietal makes me happy. This bottle is serving all of the acidic brightness of a delicious old-world, with the darker, earthier flavors I love so much. People say bacon and tobacco, I say pork belly and seared red meat. Sour red berries, like Bing Cherry and Raspberry, are still arguing with the drier notes in this wine; another 3-4 years in the bottle would resolve this feud nicely, I'm sure.
