Montemaggiore
Paolo's Vineyard Syrah
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Not sure where I got this. Been holding it for a while. Wanted a bigger and better wine tonight so I finally popped it. But then the cork broke into a hundred little pieces…
Looks right in the glass. Deep crimson. Edge of bruised plums. Nice spice box on the nose. Little like mulling spice. Medicines made of herbs and stewed cherry in there too. Made a flower scented candle? Dense CA Syrah-ish character in the mouth. Plums, blackberry, olives, and some black pepper. Not getting much bacon here. It’s fairly smooth, velvety and clean. Tannins are great. Could age longer I’m sure. 11 years pasha. I’m not stunned, but it’s true to the type.
