Minnesota Valley Wine Group Syrah Tasting (Amy & Scott's - Eagan, MN): I enjoyed this wine better than the 2013 Contender. Nose showed even more sweetness with purple flower and cedar dominating, along with some roasted meat and plum notes. The palate showed lots of red and black fruit, with quite a bit of spice (mostly asian spice and baking spice) coupled with toasty oak. I didn't notice any heat, and a more velvety mouthfeel. Solid 93+ for my palate.

A savory meal of coffee rubbed grilled beef, black pepper, blackberry pan sauce. Fine tannins offer enough support.

Sweet fruit, rocky soil nuances but not dominating. Delish.

Skewing very hard towards savory flavors — leather, brine, iodine. Floral notes are secondary, fruit is more a suggestion than a tangible presence.

Minnesota Valley Fine Wine Tasting Group Syrah Tasting (Eagan, MN): Black currants, spice, stone rose petals and mild funk. Bigger in style than the Contender from 13. This wine needs some time and showed a bit of heat. 1 point
