Joseph Swan Vineyards
Great Oak Vineyard Russian River Valley Syrah
This was quite northern Rhône like. It was perfumed with violet but also had some black pepper to it. Lively and harmonious on the palate...drinking well right now. There was only a touch of gamey meat to it, and the fruit (blackberry, currant, cherry) was quite tart in its flavors, which worked well against the savory notes.
