Kaleidos 2012 Praying Mantis Syrah (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Praying Mantis
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Kaleidos / Paso Robles

Bursting with boysenberry and olallieberry, this wine by Steve Martell gains complexity with aromas of slate, asphalt and dark chocolate. A sizzle of acidity entertains the tongue, along with dark flavors of dried berries, black peppercorns and purple flowers. A tart plum-skin element leads the finish.
