San Saba Vineyard Syrah

Super heavy bottle. 👎🏻
Color is quite saturated. Nose is NOT shy; kind of shakes it in your face in a very suggestive way. Ash pit earthiness overlaid on almost port-like fruit. In the mouth it’s very soft, mouthfilling, and voluptuous. Fruit is a bit too much on the ripe side for my taste. Not pruney, though, thankfully. I detect a bit of residual sugar, too. Nice length, and the tannin is very soft and buried in the cascade of fruit. With air, some savory components come out to complexify the fruit. Orin Swift fans will like this a lot, but it’s a bit too showy and over-the-top for my taste.
