Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 15, 2014 - A Syrah Friday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose evokes the Northern Rhone with black olives, black cherries, black pepper, red and black currants, and some smoke tones. There is a laid back quality to the fruit with a old world sensibility at the same time.

Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium acidity and youthful tannins. The structure is certainly there, but it isn't too overpowering with black olives, black cherries, black pepper, with red and black currants on the back end.

Overall: This is a gorgeous cool-climate syrah from California. This shows off the best of both sides with one foot rooted in California and the other foot rooted in the Northern Rhone.
