Dumb Luck Lake County Syrah

This wine is dark in the glass. Its nose gives plenty of dark aromas, like blackberry, black plum and cassis. There is also a slight whiff of anise and a cedar note. The wine has an almost perfumed bouquet. One the palate, dark fruit dominates, but there are savory flavors of white pepper and thyme. The tannins are firm and the acidity makes the mouth water. This is a lovely Syrah that makes me think of holiday meals.
