Jalama 2006 Paradise Road Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Paradise Road
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Jalama / Santa Barbara County

A dry, tannic and severe Syrah. It’s tart and sandpapery in the mouth, with a scoury mouthfeel, and although you’ll find some cherries and currants, there’s not enough richness to counterbalance the toughness.
