Darien Vineyard Syrah


Fantastic Syrah from a reputable Cabernet producer in Napa. Beautiful on the nose with plenty of black fruit and minerality. On the palette it shows a wonderful earth tones and black fruit. Drink now, you could cellar it for a few more years but you’ll lose some of the nice fruit.

Layered red and black fruit. Big fruit, big alc. has a dark savory background. 5-10yr will become motor oil. Soy, sage.

It's a nice wine but it drinks more like a Napa Cab than a Syrah. It has nice dark fruit and a silky mouthfeel but there's none of the meaty peppery characteristics I love about Syrah.

Fresh, easy drinking cocktail Syrah with a round, but timid attack, and more of the same throughout.

Mocha and berries and garigue. Finish is a bit shorter than it was on release. Still pretty wonderful though.
