Tuesday, February 8, 2011 - This bottle is labeled Syrah, North Coast. Deep reddish purple color. Exuberant nose, black olive, and dark berry fruit. A little smoked meat.
Some florals/violets as it airs. Very much like a N Rhone syrah, cool climate flavors. Almost zero noticeable oak flavor in this bottle. Punchy acids, good tannic structure. I liked this very much and would buy again.
