  September 4, 2010 - When you open the Westerly Syrah and put it in a glass or decanter, it displays a wonderful, deep purple luminescence. You just want to shine a light through it and enjoy its depth of color. Put your nose into the glass and it reveals aroma of cooked blackberry jam. This wine is made from very ripe fruit and comes in at 14.5% alcohol. I wouldn’t call it flabby like many an Aussie shiraz, but it isn’t begging for long haul aging like a syrah heavy Chateauneuf du Pape. This wine comes with some mild tannins, but it’s pleasant as a big, rich, everyday drinker worth all of it's price tag. A sip delivers ripe berries, ripe plum, and appeals from the top, to the bottom of the bottle.
