Live Oak Vineyard
Estate Syrah
California, USA
This is a delicious Syrah from San Diego County.
Ruby and color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim. Really pretty color.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity, and dry on the palate.
Showing blueberries, sweet cherries, light oak, licorice, prunes, earth, chocolates, tobacco leaf, cardamom, cinnamon, light soy sauce, coffee, herbs, Indian spices and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old is drinking so nicely now. Showing great complexity and mouth feel.
Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Peaking now, spicy and elegant.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
I had it before, and this time I did not decant it, but just let it open in the glass. I liked it even better this time around.
A good sipping wine that doesn't need food at all, but good with food too. Paired beautifully with prosciutto and Brie cheese.
93 points.
$30.
