(902 views) | | | Tasted by wineislife on 9/30/2007 & rated 89 points: Real nice bouquet, crossover of new and old worlds. Hint s of toffee with some modest vegetal characteristics. Very rhone style syrah. Huge bargain (I paid $12). Finishes with a healthy does of oak.

Was a gift (but I do continue to buy Rosenblum occasionally) that I received and I'm trying to clear big bottle space for Fall incoming--this wine has a low shoulder and huge wide bottom...oh, so sexy. Could not find any TNs on this at all through the BB search so I found the courage to open it without any guidance!?! It's starting to show some browning on the edges, along with mostly a maroon color. Nose reminds me of coffee, some bell pepper (slight) and black pepper, along with some black raspberry. Palate-wise, medium to fill bodied, exhibiting some nice acids and some cracked berry fruit. Surely not in the style of the Saxum, Lewis or Novy from the past week but more in the red fruit, juicy style. Finishes with some espresso/toast and a lingering spice. Nice stuff. Have some 02 of this that I found at the Rosenblum tasting room earlier this year on blowout for, gulp, $14 each. What a steal and so good--they must have lost their mind up there. (2529 views) |

Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
