Wattle Creek 2010 Vintage Select Shiraz (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Vintage Select
Variety: Shiraz California
Winery: Wattle Creek / Alexander Valley

A huge, thick Syrah that couldn’t possibly be fruitier. It explodes in blackberry and cherry jam, dark chocolate and toasty oak flavors, wrapped into sturdy tannins, leading to a finish of brown sugar and spices. Not for the faint-hearted, but a seriously great barbecue wine.
