Opened up better the second day. Still big. Deep color and dark fruit . (543 views) | | | Tasted by ChrisinCowiche on 1/31/2013 & rated 93 points: Color is black purple, Nose is asphalt black blue fruit and beef, palate is earthy asphalt black fruit, almost Boushey Vineyard (WA) like. Alcohol never notices and big tannic long finish make this my favorite of 5 CA syrah drank/tasted over two days.
Thank you to Linda at The Wine Closet in Camarillo for the introdcution to Central Coast AVA's and their Syrahs. (2107 views) | | | Tasted by Dagalaifus on 11/1/2012 & rated 94 points: Paso Robles Syrah. Inky purple in the glass. On the palate, fruit-forward, Port-like intensity, full-bodied, high-octane (16.5 alcohol), blackberry, vanilla, toasty oak with hints of Christmas spice and mocha. Lengthy finish. Plenty of heat and unbalanced now, but should resolve into something marvelous in 3-5 years. Outstanding effort with phenomenal QPR. I paid around $25 for this wine. Only Saxum, Sina Qua Non and occassionally, Herman Story or Booker make a better Syrah in this region.
Grapes are sourced from St. Peter of Alcantara vineyard. The next James Berry? Multiple bottles tasted with consistent notes. (1290 views) |

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
