Thompson Vineyard Syrah
This is 100% Syrah, completely destemmed, and aged for 18 months in French oak (25% new). Aromas of juicy black berry fruit, floral and a jolt of pepper spice. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors, fresh with jammy notes, cacao and pepper spice. Fine dusty tannins, a bit drying, medium length ending with savory spice. Very nice! Tasting Sample!

Jun 12th, 2020Gift from a friend. Absolute stunner. Crazy clean finish. But classic Thompson on nose and mid. Smoked meat, blueberries, some graphite and hint of savory herbs. Felt like home.

Jul 5th, 2013Hi ratings for having a dry cork (that crumbled!) but the wine is still huge. Wonderful body & chewy, cherry/anise w/ terrific balance.
Really happy w/ how this wine has aged!

Has improved in last 8 months...full, balanced, mildly dry and lovely. Still dynamic, maturing with age.
