Savory notes, dark cherries, cocoa, white pepper & finishes with good acidity.

drank with homemade oxtail stew

@redcarwine #syrah 2010 drinking pretty much perfectly now #sonomacounty #wine

Interesting Bennett valley fruit here, with a little iron, soil, blood, sauvage quality that drenches the deep red and purple fruits. Some other dried flowers and foliage also present.

2010 Red Car cuvée 22 Syrah full of plum and spices silky smooth palate and smoky sticky finish. Needs Brisket. :)

'09 vintage is drinking beautifully with aromas of coffee'd blueberries, earth, bacon & tea - rich unfolding flavors of blue fruits, white pepper, dark chocolate & bacon

Still drinking beautifully at 11 years old. Enormous value.

Red Car always makes enjoyable, balanced wines. This is no different. 10 years on and show no sign of deterioration. While it may not improve from here it’s extremely enjoyable right now.

Andersen has gone Syrah crazy. Old school red car. That blood, oiled leather and somehow white pepper.

Great Syrah, red fruit, lots of pepperiness of the long finish. Went well with BBQ ribs.
