Day 2 notes- 58 degrees Riedel Syrah stem. 14,4 abv. Blend of Hawks Hill Ranch and Denner Vineyard fruit. 60% new oak. Opened last night drank with 72 market street meatloaf- Dark ruby, opaque, slight staining on tears, atomically clean, fresh, dark orchard fruits, dark cherries, plums, some chaparral, hint of spice, hints of black truffle, medium bodied, dry, lithe and nicely lifting acid, not jammy, medium , fine grained tannins that are slightly drying, integrated oak, medium plus finish. Still quite young but very enjoyable

Riedle Syrah stem. $55.00 purchased from tasting room. Appearance - medium intensity purple/ruby, bright, Aromatics - clean, lifted, tart red and blue fruits, bramble, ripe plum, wild fennel savoriness, earth, some apparent herbal nuance, possibly via whole cluster, consistent, slightly saline, medium intensity palate, medium to medium plus lifting and defining acidity, medium bodied, medium plus length in the finish. Apparently neutral to restrained percent of French oak, fine grained, slightly grippy tannins. Such a treat to try Syrah from duvarita vineyard. Nicely vinified and I appreciated the winemaking style here on this cooler climate wine.
