Nose of ripe blackberries, new leather, smoked fruit and a touch of herbs. On the first sip, tart plum, fresh huckleberries, graphite followed by a long finish with crunchy tannins and remainders of black cherries. Very very deep and complex with bright fruit still at the forefront, this wine is special at the moment but still has plenty of time to go. (181 views) | | Tasted by ccoast69 on 3/1/2023 & rated 91 points: Black cherry, blueberry, oregano, and slight vanilla on the nose. Decanted for 3 hours, became silky, rich, and balanced. Black cherry, dark berries, chocolate and citrus notes on the palate. Great finish, dry chewy tannins. Definitely could lay down for at least 5 move years. (376 views) | | Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 5/17/2021 & rated 88 points: Black cherry, raspberry, dark plum, fresh cracked black pepper. Full bodied and still pretty oaky for my palate (but much less than a typical California Syrah). Great structure though, it will benefit from further aging. At this age. it needs food.

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
