Community Tasting Note

  February 28, 2017 - I was really excited to try this, as this was a vintage where the syrah fruit from Cardiac Hill (which I love) was declassified into the Bennett Valley Syrah. But, I was left a bit disappointed. Not that it wasn't a nice wine, but I've come to expect Mike Officer's wines to be such overachievers, and this merely delivered on its price point. A little more thin and less aromatic than other syrahs, and it lacked a sense of place and varietal character. None of the bacon fat, meatiness, minerality, or pepperiness I enjoy in my Cali syrahs.
