Red Car
Sonoma Coast Syrah
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Intense clove and allspice aromas initially- a tad reduced. Followed quickly by more smoke, bacon, violet and blackberry character. Meaty, spicy, a bit gamy. Soft tannins and good weight. May take a day or two to come together completely. Always appreciate the IPOB sensibility of Carol’s wines. Not as complex or remarkable as the estate Syrah, but a fairly-priced and elegant bottling.
