Andremily
No. 5 Syrah
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
A broken record at this point, but for this style I absolutely love these wines. Followed from bottle over the course of 2-3hrs.
91 Syrah/ 6 Mourvèdre/ 3 Viognier
At 10yrs, it was time to check in on how this is evolving…absolutely rockin’ from pop. Massive aromatics of mixed berry medley, espresso, pepper and herbs (hint of stems). Great depth on the mid-palate but not heavy. Very polished and svelte. Rich, dark fruit (blueberries, blackberries, black currant) cascade to the finish with dark cocoa, smoked meat, baking spice and green pepper spice from the stem inclusion rounding it out. Extremely delicious, almost dangerously so. Early in the drinking window but so good right now.

Spectacular nose, layer upon layer of fruit and a finish that goes on and on...amazing!!!
