El Dorado Syrah
El Dorado County, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Skinner # 2 as compared to the Mourvedre. My wife likes it more. I like it less. It may need to be decanted. I’m not sure as it is a 2020. It is definitely not as complex and definitely more sour on the finish. My wife says it’s buttery and she loves it the most. It is a bit buttery, but I don’t have a really outstanding bouquet, initial pallet nor finish in my mind, but I will enjoy this bottle just not as good as the Mourvedre.
