10/25/2014 - Leomania wrote: 91 pointsWaited awhile to open this second bottle; much more approchable. The red, blue and black fruit all still in evidence. Good core acidity, leading to an expressive finish. Still no need to hurry on the next bottle. |

2010 Vineyard of Pasterick SyrahDry Creek Valley more |
10/24/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 92 pointsOutstanding. Didn't plan to open one up quite yet but my wife didn't make it to the release at the winery so I opened it up for her. Classic blacberry, mocha, black tea tannins, leather, good lift from the acidity, lingering finish. It will be hard not to plow through these! |
