Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 2, 2016 - Let me admit... when it comes to Syrah I am a northern Rhone snob... and I certainly was not expecting anything good from this $20 Californian syrah. At first smell I knew my prejudices were going to be wrong. The nose is full of violets, some vanilla, blueberry and every once in a while I thought I got meats. The palate is full of fruit.. raspberry, blueberry pie, strawberry even. There is a ton of structure (and this is what surprised me as I find most new world Syrah flabby and round). There is a bit of peppery spiciness. The 14.4 ETOH is well intigrated. There are no other notes here so please someone tell me if I'm off here...
