La Sirena
Le Barrettage Syrah
Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA
This wine is a play on Rhone Hermitage style wines, named Le Barrettage. If you had this blind, you wouldn’t necessarily call Syrah and certainly not Rhone.
This is a very ripe, lush, rounded wine that is pure elegance. Dark fruits, strawberries with blueberries over the top, rich, moist dark earth, used leather, lightly savory meats, black pepper, underbrush, great round acidity with bight; dark, red, purple and blue florals. Good young and will age easily 10 years.
All of the La Sircena wines are small production. Hundreds of cases. 2500 cases of total production.
Good to see our friend Dave Schulze formerly of Joseph Phelps & Brand again.

Beast! Have a steak with this one. Bloody as hell.
