Terre Rouge 2011 DTR Ranch Syrah (Fiddletown)

Country: US / DTR Ranch
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Terre Rouge / Fiddletown

DTR is Domaine de la Terre Rouge’s home site, planted in 1999, and its coolest. Given that, the aromas suggest more ripeness than would be expected, a heady mix of plum and brambly berry, with an undertone of minerality that keeps things zipping along.
