Rideau 2013 Estate Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Rideau / Santa Ynez Valley

Dried black cherries, a hint of purple flowers and a touch of tar show on the closed nose of this wine. The palate is also extremely wound up at this stage, with hints of espresso and dark chocolate. Although the structure is impressive, it does not allow much flavor to escape right now.
