Complex with nice finish (1187 views) | | | Tasted by Mountster27 on 10/22/2014 & rated 92 points: Love this Syrah. Dark fruit. Soft and supple. Olives and a bit of forest floor. Gamey meat. (2035 views) | | | Tasted by bbcc66 on 10/15/2013 & rated 90 points: Took to a blind tasting. Everyone loved it. Nice funky nose with big, bold dark fruit tastes. (2279 views) | | | Tasted by Hoffmnron on 6/13/2013 & rated 92 points: Very drinkable. Smooth and gentle on the palate but still with plenty of taste and aftertaste. Excellent Syrah. (2318 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/6/2013 & rated 89 points: Lush aromas of blackberries and blueberries, caramel and charcoal. Palate is full and rich with mixed berries, but there’s just enough acid and some fine tannins, so it all works together. Dark and smoky as well, with mocha, coffee, charcoal and carmelized sugar notes. A bold, bombastic wine, but the purity of flavors and the seamlessness of the wine make it irresistible. Could benefit from a long decant or a few years in the cellar. (2447 views) | | | Tasted by rjdoan on 4/4/2013 & rated 89 points: Nice complex wine with deep color and an inviting nose. Tastes of dark brooding fruit and hints of earth. Medium finish. (1620 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 4/4/2013 & rated 91 points: Opaque black red violet color; reduction, tar, clove, baked black fruit, roast coffee nose; tasty, tar, ripe black fruit, black olive tapenade, roasted coffee palate with salinity and good acidity; medium-plus finish (14.9% alcohol) (381 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
