Wine Review: This very dark garnet colored Syrah from Meyer Family opens with a new leather, hard cherry candy, and cigar box bouquet with hints of band aid and cinnamon. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, very smooth, lush, and seamless. The flavor profile is a cedar and tobacco blend with notes of graphite, red plum, and nutmeg. We also detected hints of red licorice, red cherry, and a touch of mocha. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and dusty tannins are nicely extended. We would pair this Syrah with a French cassoulet. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Displays an aromatic burst of plum, sun-dried strawberries, along with notes of leather, dried flowers, and a hint of fig. On the palate are juicy, dark fruits, white pepper, and wet earth, all backed by a vibrant acidity. The soft tannins in this wine are complemented by a touch of “grit” provided by the small percentage of Petite Sirah blended into it. Two years in barrel have softened the palate and added aromas of vanilla, cedar, and clove.
