Mesa Del Sol 2009 Syrah (Arroyo Seco)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Mesa Del Sol /

The aging program for this Syrah, which comes from a vineyard near the intersection of the Carmel and Salinas valleys, results in a solidly balanced wine. Pepper, boysenberry and game consume the nose, with blackberry fruit, mint, tobacco and a greenish bitterness keeping the palate interesting.
