SOLMINER SYRAH FULL MOON '12

SOLMINER SYRAH "FULL MOON" SANTA YNEZ VALLEY 2012

NVWE Notes: This dark Syrah is intriguing for its mix of masculine and feminine traits . The nose offers aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, salted plum, white peppercorn, pink peppercorn and tobacco. On the palate, it has a lean, gripping, almost sinewy mouth-feel; and savory flavors of roasted game, dark earth, black peppercorn, tobacco and dried herbs to underpin its deep, elegantly zesty raspberry, Santa Rosa plum and cranberry fruit. It is long and full of zest and tannic grip at the finish. Delicious now with fatty roasts, it should be truly splendid in four years or so. 200 cases produced.
