Great Syrah for burgers! Dry but still plenty of rich power and pepper!

Very different St Joseph. Tons of brambly dark fruit. Nice acid and tension on the finish. But oddly lacking in tannin and structure. Savory and I appreciate the 13% abv but I think it’s missing a dimension given the price point.

Super duper peppery on both the nose and palate. Tart/underripe berries. Decent acidity. Paired with peppercorn pork loin.

Elegant nose of ropes black fruit, spices and vanilla oak! Medium body, smooth tannins and balanced acidity!
