Thursday, June 22, 2017 - This was one of the more complex and fascinating syrahs I've had in a while. I think 5 years ago I might not have appreciated this flavor profile, but after being immersed in the worlds of craft beers and craft cocktails, I really like this wine. The juicy and sweet berry fruit plays almost a supporting role while the wine is has wonderful bitter herbaceousness, smoke, peppercorn, a subtle funkiness, with just a hint of sour fruits. Definitely a combination I like in my cocktails. There's even a hint of floral notes (violet maybe?) to add even more complexity.
