White Oak Vineyards & Winery
Syrah
Napa Valley, California, USA
Great winery. Great #Syrah #wine.
Not made every year, I found the 09 on the shelf. A little on the decline.
Tight and redyctive upon opening. Opened to deep brambly wild fruit, stewed black cherry. Slightly herbal. Really cool. Color has a tinge of brown (cork had slight seepage). Smooth, texture, more stewed fruits and slightly boozy at 14.1% alc. Overall leaning towards darker flavors. Opened 5/13/17

Very oaky on the nose. Overall a good flavor. Not as much oak on the pallet as the nose, but still good vanilla comes through. A bit tart, not very mineraly at all.

May 14th, 2017Got this from wine.woot and was pretty unimpressed. There's an off taste that I can't place. It stood up very well with tacos, however! 2008 Syrah.
