Ramey Wine Cellars
Sonoma Coast Syrah
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Falling on the more elegant side of Syrah, it's brimming with red fruits, florals and spice. Cranberry, dry cherry, red pluots and figs. Plenty of fresh ground black pepper, cedar, clove and cigar box provide its signature spice element. A touch of viognier adds a nice floral element - predominantly crushed violets. Coats and sits on the palate, with barrel tannin hitting late on the finish.

Reaches more for elegance then brashness. Needs air, and we decanted for 2+ hours. Fruit and new French are interwoven well. Vanilla, cedar, figs, dried cranberry, clove, dried rose petal, and violets. Quite lengthy, and balanced.

Complexity reigns supreme. Blackberry, smoked meat and spicebox cling to the palate. The legs are strong, the body is huge. This is massive and built to age. Can't wait to try in 5 or even 10 years.

Big blackberry, roasted meat, salami, white pepper. Significant tannin and plenty of acidity and oak influence to age. Better in 2017. 2010 vintage.
