A Whole Lotta Syrahs (and more) at the Girl and the Fig; 3/4/2014-3/6/2014 (The Girl and the Fig): Another new wine for me. Very pretty label. Nice nose of spice, black raspberries, some warm earth. This is a warmer styled wine on the nose which surprised me as I think its labeled Sonoma Coast. A ripe vintage to be sure, but perhaps from a warmer micro-climate? The palate is different though. Lots of red fruit on the palate. More cherries than purple fruit. Not complex but drinking well. Some leathery tannins on the finish. Seems to be at its peak now.
