Kick Ranch Vineyard Syrah
Sonoma County, California, USA
Fun wine; chewy and grippy with bacon fat, smoke, concentrated dark berries and blackberry tart. Mouth coating tannins yet not overly heavy. 2014 in a good place right now.

First sip I need a knife & fork, chewy, then I get smoky bacon fat; deep concentration, fine integrated tannins. Damn, Paul Hobbs makes good wines! I don't remember this being this good early on, now with some bottle age it rocks!
I'll miss this Sonoma Kick Ranch Vineyard Syrah, as he is only making wines from his Paul Hobbs Estate Owned Vineyards. Enjoy the 2012 Kick Ranch Syrah soon, in a great place right now! Cheers, 🍇🍷👍

Blueberry and blackberry compote, cracked pepper and a granite-like minerality hidden under the lush layers of fruit and ripe tannin. Gutsy Syrah, this was much better in the nose after about an hour of air.

Bold and fragrant. Plums, blackberries, chocolate, cassis, and dark cherries, with a hint of blueberries. Decanted for a couple of hours. Excellent now, but can still age for a while.
