2012 Vintage. 15.2% Alcohol. Wow, big juicy fruit bomb of a Syrah. Went extremely well with Thai food.

Jun 13th, 2017In contrast to the Riverain this was open for business right out of the gate. Meat, Violets and a little heat on the nose (you could smell it from a couple feet away!). Palate matched the nose minus the heat, awesome wine

Decanted 2 hours. Drank over three hours. It is big but simple. It lacks the character and complexity of other bien nacido syrahs.

Herman Story Bien Nacido Syrah 2012 - toasty, candied black fruit and spice nose with meat and smoked herbs. Sweet and mega big black fruit. Persistent and concentrated. Lower acid. Big brawny tannin. Not for the faint of heart.
