Dry Stack Vineyard Syrah 2007

This wine is very forgettable. There was some fruit on the nose, but more of a muted presence. Perhaps a little too old? Bottle variation? Whatever it is, this one was in last place in a lineup of 2012 Plumpjack, 2005 Cayuse En Cerise, 2013 Sleight of hand Psychedelic, 2009 Alban Reva, 2001 Dutschke Semmler, and a 2015 Montagu Hyde. Died immediately when paired with braised pork. Did have some velvety black fruit character throughout but it had nothing exciting to contribute. Didn't even wake up with salty kettle chips. I would like to try a newer offering perhaps? — 5 years ago

Bit of a head scratcher. Based on Russell’s winemaking style, I expected this to still be large and in charge, but this came across as tired (maybe due to the other bottles it was next to?) Ripe red and black fruits, graham cracker, and dark cocoa. Still haven’t had any of Russell’s Syrahs...maybe I can request one to be open during our tasting next week.
