Rim Rock Vineyard Arroyo Grande Valley Syrah

Tasted four #piedrasassi side by side horizontal this was the best. All four were a little #brett Definitely the best in my opinion. Delicious #Syrah with a little bit of everything and balanced.

A nice showing, but no stunner. Blackberry crumble cooked over an open fire. Acid is a bit strong still.

November’s 4th Friday was a big hit. There is no way I’ll be able to upload all the wines, nor give them the reviews they deserve, but there were a few worthy of mentioning!

New wine to me but right up my Syrah alley. Not as much funk driven as it is savory driven. Leaps from the glass with whole cluster aromatics of stems, sweet peppercorn spice, and very pure rhubarb tart. Light on the palate with added floral notes, smoked meat, iron and a finish of black pepper. Would like to try this again. Thanks @Arden Barnett

Less on the nose here. Mouth drying tannins

Gonon much? 🤔 serious accomplishment.

Wild, brambley fruit. Dry minerality. Huge structure. Raw red meat. Irony.

Worthy of more to cellar. One of the best CA Syrah's I've ever tasted. Rich, dense dried & crushed floral aromatics, green olive, pink peppercorn, cedar, cranberry & red currant. Everything is perfectly in balance.

One of the best New World Syrah

this one goes to 11. black fruit, olive, spice and structure.

Very delicate compared to the rest of the lineup. Black fruit, violets, and spice peek through
