Rozak
Rozak Ranch Vineyard Syrah
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
This wine is superb. Tasted same vintage almost a year ago and now it seems perfect.
Color is very very dark. Black. Meniscus shows now alc and very thin. Shiny, oily sheen. With plenty of light the edge is eggplant.
The nose is plenty of damp earth, boysenberry, shrub, wet leather and faint white pepper.
The flavors are deep. Unfined & unfiltered. Boysenberry, wild black fruits, a little stem. Velvety sleek with smooth polished texture. Medium body, and oily rolling over the crevas of the palate. Underlined bitterness approaching cocoa. Rich. Tannins are on the background music to fruit. Now was perfect. Opened 11/28/15
