Comartin 2012 The Porterhouse Syrah-Grenache (Central Coast)

Country: US / The Porterhouse
Variety: Syrah-Grenache California
Winery: Comartin / Central Coast

This blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache offers heady and thick violet and plum extract aromas, and smells heavier in alcohol than it is. The palate shows ripe black cherry, but it’s eye-wateringly tannic, and needs quite a bit of time in the cellar to evolve.
