Ahlgren
Paso Robles Syrah
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Light, fresh, exciting - subtlely shows its age toward the finish. Rhone experience from the Central Coast. Still pleasant several days later.
Winemaker's Comment: Characteristic smokey, floral, Syrah fruit bouquet. Bright fruit, "dusty" - elegant fruit/tannin balance. Bottled Sept. 1998.

Another score from Ahlgren's library sale. Aged beautifully, well rounded, dry, solid acidity. Fun fact: I realized post-purchase that I had this wine before, 10 years ago, and saved the label because I liked it a lot. Winemaker's comment: deep, warm, rich smokey & chocolate bouquet. Ripe, fruity flavors. Balanced. Mouthfilling. Unfined and unfiltered. Bottled March 2002.
