Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 3, 2012 - This was a pop n pour. Started out a bit tight and angular with grippy tannins so while it aired I did a little blending experiment. I had a bottle of Copain Viognier open so I added a touch to my glass of Wind Gap and it rounded out and the tannins smoothed out almost instantaneously.
After we drank through the first pour we stuck with the Syrah. It really came around quite quickly. The last pour was at maybe hour 3. The nose was loaded with spice, earthy savory goodness and blue fruit. Tart and savory through the palate with a creamy mouth and subdued tannins on the long finish. I'm finding this to be a real bargain buy that I can enjoy while I wait for the SVDs to come around. Very well done!
