Donkey & Goat 2010 Perli Vineyard Syrah (Mendocino Ridge)

Country: US / Perli Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Donkey & Goat / Mendocino Ridge

This Perli is a gem, a gorgeous reminder that California Syrah can be a liquified representation of beauty. Carrying violet overtones, the wine offers just-picked raspberry and a pronounced entry of peppery spice. Soft it has a long finish and complex subtleties approaching magic. Sit this wine in your cellar if you dare—it’s so good to drink now.
