Wine Review: This deep purple colored Syrah from Lasseter opens with a birch beer and cedar bouquet with hints of lavender and Play-Doh. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, super smooth, fresh, and complex. The flavor profile is a very tasty Australian soft black licorice, dark chocolate, and blackberry blend with notes of blueberry and RC Cola. We also detected hints of black pepper, Slim Jim, cedar, and tobacco. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and refined dusty tannins stick around for quite some time. Drink it on its own! However, with food we would pair this Syrah with a Montreal-rubbed New York strip steak. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: This cellar-worthy beauty is deep black violet in color and offers intriguing aromas of blueberry and dark cocoa. The palate is dense and rich, with hints of blue fruit just beginning to emerge, wrapped in layers of umami, leather, and oolong tea. Big fine tannins and spice notes grace a lingering finish.
