Carlisle 2014 Sierra Mar Vineyard Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Sierra Mar Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Carlisle / Santa Lucia Highlands

Though from a cool region, this is a more powerful style of Syrah, showing elegant fudge and caramel notes as well as blackberries, blueberries, espresso cream and strong cola aromas. Tangy black currant and baked black-cherry fruit pop on the palate, along with tobacco, smoked beef and baking spice.
