Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 16, 2016 - Inky, dark purple color. The nose is very complex with a very old world profile of gunflint, smoke, animale, meaty, violets, and plums. This is a classic syrah on the palate - blackberry, plum, smoked meat, violets, spice, and minerals. Structurally, there are ample, sandpapery tannins that create a rustic mouthfeel, but the acidity is well managed and supports the fruit beautifully. Overall, Shane Finley did an excellent job of creating a cool climate syrah with character and complexity. It needs food to help tame the tannins, but it is well made in a rustic, masculine way.
