Ruby red to violet, smelled like strawberry yogurt upon pouring, some herbaceousness, less meaty/savory notes than the previous Halcon syrah. I would have preferred more acid, Ned's WOTN.
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes
Medium to deep purple, high intensity of aroma, purple flowers, plums, ripe blueberries, roasted grapes. Minty finish, acid-driven and lighter in style than other syrahs tasted. My favorite of the night.
