Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah 2008

9.2

Rich red fruits, despite the 15% ABV, this smells and tastes like a cool climate Syrah (my vague recollection was that 2008 was a cooler year, though this vineyard usually produces the ripest and most high-octane Syrah in the Tensley stable), nice balance, lingering finish, very fine!’ — 15 days ago

Great, thanks a lot for the feedback!!! I will check for the other references but I must admit that US wines are not that much available in Belgium. However, Ravenswood is sold at my local wineshop though

@Anthony De Blasi, you say Ravenswood is sold at your local shop (and I apologize last night for not realizing you’re in Belgium) — note that the really inexpensive Ravenswood Zin is just so-so, try one of the single vineyard to get a better feel.

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe red/black berry fruits floral and earthy spicy herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry fruit with black pepper, herb, cacao and earthy notes. Fine chalky tannins, well balanced, good acidity, medium+ finish, almost, ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral character. Nice! — 4 months ago
