Montevina 2005 Terra d’Oro Syrah (Amador County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Montevina / Terra d’Oro

More tannic, drier and more acidic than most fine coastal Syrahs, this one from the Sierra Foothills is marked by its firm structure.The black currant, licorice, beef jerky and tobacco flavors are complex. Best now.
