Just read someone else’s note not to drink it too cold. Feeling that’s good advice. I found this to be pretty austere. I thought maybe it would help for this to sit around for another year to settle down. Those Syrah characteristics are pretty serious and make for a very pithy grapefruity experience right now. Lot of subtle bitter notes coming through. Not mad at it. Plenty of people will enjoy this no doubt. If I had more I’d save it till next summer.

DO NOT DRINK THIS TOO COLD!! I made the mistake of chilling this for too long, and it was bland at first. A half-hour later, as we sat down to our shrimp stir-fry, the second glass was SO much better. Not overly bubbly, hooray! Several things swirling around in there, but none dominate, which worked well with the slight spiciness of the food. Definitely need to get more. Solminer is proving to be one of those "It's all good" wineries :-)

Delicious fizzy, red berries, mineral, fresh, good acid. Served with poke. Really enjoyable.
