Frei Brothers 2005 Reserve Syrah (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Frei Brothers / Russian River Valley

Not only extremely drinkable, but shows real varietal elegance and class. Dry and fairly tannic, the wine brims with flavors of blackberries, blueberries, chocolate, sweet leather and Provençal herbs, with good acidity for balance. Best now.
