Robert Biale Vineyards
Like Father Like Son Napa Valley Syrah Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Nose has ripe blackberry, blueberry jam on toast, seasoned oak firewood, over-ripe plum and moist cinnamon.
Palate has semi-dried blueberry jam, over-ripe black cherry, cedar shavings, moist leather and blackberry concentrate. Very long finish, heavy on the palate, slightly astringent, nose has notable alcohol. Decanted +4H, more time appreciated.
Suggest holding this bottle until at least 2024+, hopefully it settles some more. Expected maturity 2028-33, in proper storage.
Paired to medium-rare burgers with the best ground beef we can acquire locally at this time; Kinderhook Farm (Valatie, NY), I love thee! Lettuce from our garden, BBQ sauce from our garden (2020). Tomato topping needs to wait another 1-2 weeks, this year things seem slower than normal. Southern Berkshires of Massachusetts 🤷🏻♂️
Pairs well with one-day old brownies. 😋

A rich, meaty Syrah/Petite Syrah blend with superb depth. Chocolate, coffee and dark berries on the nose, a soft creamy mouthfeel, and cocoa and dark cherries on the palate.
