Donelan 2009 Walker Vine Hill Syrah (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Donelan / Walker Vine Hill

Very young, needs plenty of time. Still showing fermentation notes, with brisk, grapey acidity and primary cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. Seems brilliantly constructed and capable of aging, though. Hold until after 2012.
