Alta Colina 2011 Toasted Slope Estate Syrah (Paso Robles)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Alta Colina / Toasted Slope Estate

Pleasantly dank aromas of smoldering pine needles, leather and gamy meats hit the nose on this 2% Viognier coferment. Flavors are reminiscent of roasted wild boar, with dark chocolate, creosote and beef crust, presented against grippy tannins.
