Country: US / Ascent
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Domaine de la Terre Rouge / Sierra Foothills
Impresses for the sheer volume of fruit, with explosive blackberry, cherry, cassis, chocolate, licorice, gingerbread, cola and smoky oak flavors. The structure is very fine, with rich, ripely smooth tannins and good acidity. Delicious now, and should remain so for several years.
