Tua Rita
Toscana Syrah
Tuscany, Italy
Lentine in the background, Rivard and co in the shadows. Superb wine, eclipsed by the Petrus (more than one).
Still a baby, but showing well. Tannins are somewhat integrated, but still prominent. Tightly wound and showing overripe black fruit, rich fruit cake and baking spices.
Finishes long and linear. Maybe needs more time in the bottle, but superb at this point.

Woof! Big but very drinkable

This Syrah is not like any other one I’ve had. It didn’t scream Syrah in any fashion that I’m familiar with other than subtle black pepper. Great balance after 20min and the water like texture makes this so easy.

First time I've had Italian Syrah. Did not disappoint. Not only can this one hold its own with its Tuscan cousins (sangio and Bordeaux blends) it would be fun to drink next to its Rhone brethren. A series price performer too. Wow.
