Venge Vineyards
Block I-4 Stagecoach Vineyard Syrah
Napa Valley, California, USA
The nose reveals, nice freshness, creamy, ripe; blackberries, black plum, an array of purple fruits, black licorice down to the core of anise, deep sweet tarriness, light pepper, dark spice, limestone minerals, big vanilla, cinnamon, clove, some nutmeg, crushed rocks, sandstone style minerals, underbrush with lavender & violets.
The body is full with soft, dark, tarry, slightly sticky tannins. Delicious wire to wire. Fresh, juicy and ripe. Blackberries, black plum, an array of purple fruits, black licorice to the core of anise, deep sweet tarriness, light pepper, dark spice, limestone minerals, big vanilla, cinnamon, clove, some nutmeg, cigar, tobacco, leather, crushed rocks, sandstone style minerals, underbrush with lavender & violets. Lovely round acidy. The long, rich, lush, ripe, well balanced finish is persistent and absolutely delicious.
With 5-6 years in bottle, this one has the potential for a two or point higher score.
