Brander 2010 Colson Canyon Vineyard Clone 7 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Colson Canyon Vineyard Clone 7
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Brander / Santa Barbara County

Can Syrah get any richer than this wine? It has massive flavors of chocolate, licorice, blackberry pie, brown sugar, exotic spice and sandalwood that taste sweet yet finish dry and smooth. The tannins are so thick, you will need steak or lamb to wrestle them to the ground. Drink now–2016.
