Ramey Wine Cellars
Rodger's Creek Vineyard Syrah
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
100% new barrel is very well integrated. Needs some time open, very primary at first, but with air shows Syrah secondary. Smooth. Drinkable for the category.

While the Ramey Rodgers Creek Syrah is a favorite of mine, the ‘14 is not a knockout vintage for me. It looks beautiful in the glass — dark cherry red and translucent — and it has a room filling nose from the moment the bottle is opened. But it seems to lose something in the glass. Some creamy dark fruit and silky smooth, but doesn’t have a lot of layers this year.

Love it! Cote Rotie style Syrah. Earthy with notes of blackberry, leather, and a bit of smoke. Highly recommend.

We had the 2014 Vintage on 6/23-24/19. Dark fruit and pepper were the predominant flavors. There are just too many more enjoyable wines. No different from the 2013 Vintage.
