Le Pousseur Central Coast Syrah
Peppery, meaty and earthy on the nose. Juicy on the palate.

May 1st, 2019Nice, balanced, and tastes like Syrah! Stony minerality, dark spicy red berry fruit. I like to see wines like this one wine lists at chains (we’re in Lexington, KY), where you ordinarily see crap.

3 people found it helpfulJul 14th, 2014The wine is dark, as in black. It's savory, the nose. There is dark fruit, yes - plums, blackberries, etc. But there are black olives and dirt and rocks and licorice and spices all competing for attention. The palate brings a smooth mouthful of minerals and acidity to the taste buds. It’s a deep and moody wine that “will not be ignored” and calls for similar food to be paired with it. Lamb chops are recommended, and I’ll go with that.
