Steinbeck Vineyard Syrah

Gamey leather. Blueberries and blood. Iron.

Initial hit of dark fruit, fig, and oak. I think it's a bit past it's prime.

I've got a soft spot for Eberle because it was one of the first wineries I visited way back when I first got into wine. Rouse's was closing it out for $10, and since Gary Eberle first planted Syrah in the central coast in 1975 I couldn't pass it up. Not to mention, he's an LSU Alum. http://www.lsualumni.org/news/Big-Man-Big-Wine

Blackberry, raspberry, vanilla, currant, spice, oak and hints of white pepper. Good structure and moderate tannins.

Look burgundy, fruit nose, flavors blackberry,pepper,earth tannic

Just ok. I wanted more from this. The fruit is not as lush as I'd like from Paso.

Nice peppery Syrah.

very good, slightly chalky, deep flavors. Second favorite out of the 3, middle priced, $18 I think

First time in Paso many years ago we ended at Eberle, which was like the 4th or 5th tasting of the day, total shit show, saw this on the shelf and it wasn't terribly expensive so revisited it and happy to say we played that right - it's def wine you want to drink after you're already smashed because it's a boozy terrible mess.

Baking spices, vanilla, nice acids. When in Rome...
