Sunday, December 13, 2009 - Carlisle - 03 Syrah Bennett Valley Filtered vs. Unfiltered Experiment: In the past, I have always preferred this version. While I am not sure that was true today, I did prefer the nose. Inky purple in color. The nose is savage with Iodine, black pepper, black raspberry and grilled meats. This wine is big. On the palate, this has black raspberries, some grilled smokiness and firm tannins. There is also some disjointedness and heat. This tastes huge and is really good but lacks the finesse of the filtered version. Nit picking too be sure, and only offered in an attempt at comparison.
