Angeli Ballard Canyon Syrah
Pure Cote Rotie. But 100% syrah! And whole cluster! This is a forward yet feminine wine that will make you cry like a little girl because it's so delicious.

Oct 18th, 2020Needs two hour decant, fruit is great, terrior make me yearn for a trip to Los Olivos. Barrel influence still a bit strong (menthol notes from char) but works out nicely. Fruit is in the blueberry and plum spectrum. Some sediment is noticeable on bottle and on palette (nice texture), color and body has thinned a bit, In its peak, and guess a 3 year window before fruit begins its decent into the abyss (que: Slayer 🤘 haha).
