Kale 2009 Alder Springs Vineyard Spirit Rock Syrah (Mendocino County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Kale / Alder Springs Vineyard Spirit Rock

Voluptuous and savory, this Syrah is blended with 10% Viognier and the aromatics benefit as a result, a minerally mix of floral raspberry and vanilla. Earthy and leathery on the palate, it shows a taste of baked plum on the finish, as well as tobacco, a nice balance between Syrah’s darker and brighter sides.
