Santa Clara County Syrah
Santa Clara County, Central Coast, California, USA
This is actually Syrah from Santa Clara County. A grocery outlet steal a couple years back. Dark and stormy color. Edge is pure purple of classic bearded Iris. Aroma of ink, blood (in a good way, think iron…) and dark berries. Little bit of wet chaparral as well. Flavors are juicy, black currents and herbs. Basil? Parsley? Tarragon? This is a very excellent Syrah with just enough CA style in it. The kind of thing that goes with hearty pizza or a nice sausage and bun off the grill. Glad I got another bottle at the steal of a deal price point at the best wine shop in town.
