Matanzas Creek Syrah 1998
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesBig intense peppery gamey garrigue aromas with lots of blackberry fruit in the background. Lovely balance despite a true blockbuster style. A fine mix of Euro tannins and blackberry licorice smoky scents with big Aussie fruit. Firm and not near ready to drink. Wait another 3 to 5 years and this will be a winner.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $55.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Vinterra Wine Merchants |
