Community Tasting Note

Dagalaifus Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 1, 2012 - Paso Robles Syrah. Inky purple in the glass. On the palate, fruit-forward, Port-like intensity, full-bodied, high-octane (16.5 alcohol), blackberry, vanilla, toasty oak with hints of Christmas spice and mocha. Lengthy finish. Plenty of heat and unbalanced now, but should resolve into something marvelous in 3-5 years. Outstanding effort with phenomenal QPR. I paid around $25 for this wine. Only Saxum, Sina Qua Non and occassionally, Herman Story or Booker make a better Syrah in this region.
Grapes are sourced from St. Peter of Alcantara vineyard. The next James Berry? Multiple bottles tasted with consistent notes.
