Longboard 2009 Syrah (Russian River Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Longboard / Russian River Valley

This is a lovely Syrah. It has a medium-bodied lightness that feels velvety in the mouth, and is packed with sweet blackberry, plum, mocha and bacon flavors, accented with smoky sandalwood. Nice to drink now, and will gain traction over the next 6–8 years.
