Calkins Lane Vineyard Syrah
Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Reddish/ purplish in color with medium intensity.
Nose of black currants, fresh cherries, light oak, barnyard and light blood notes.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, plums, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, earth, light vegetables, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very interesting Syrah from Williamette Valley in Oregon. Feels like a new world Syrah with a Northern Rhone touch.
This Single Vineyard Syrah is nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Paired very nicely with my charcuterie board, especially with the Italian salami.
100% Syrah grapes were aged in (25% new) French Oak barrels for 14 months. A small production of only 2,200 bottles.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$55.
