MacLaren 2013 Moaveni Vineyard Syrah (Bennett Valley)

Country: US / Moaveni Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: MacLaren / Bennett Valley

An exciting varietal wine from an appellation that has done well by it, this opens in aromas of baked bread and compost, in addition to toasty bacon and chocolate. Tart and tight, it’s ripe and yet restrained, a nice tension of contrast at its core.
