2010 Herman Story Syrah Nuts & Bolts

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 7, 2012 - pop and pour, consumed 50% night 1 and the rest on night 3.

purple-black in the glass, almost opaque. huge aromatics of roasted blackberries, raspberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, other sweet spices, and white pepper. the palate was what i've come to expect from herman story: succulent, juicy black fruits that coat the mouth with supple tannic support. the finish was very long, full of bright (in terms of clarity) red and black fruits. yes, there's plenty of alcohol burning around, but the depth and purity of the fruit makes for a surprisingly balanced package. great, great stuff and one of the best qpr wines in california. if scoring, 92-94 points.
