Bonterra Vineyards Syrah 1999

Mendocino County, California, United StatesVery spicy, peppery, gamey sausage meat with black raspberry jam and some floral notes, very attractive. Dry, slightly tannic but balanced with cedar-y, spicy, smoky garrigue flavours and a black cherry, licorice finish. Very savoury style that will be a match for braised lamb shanks this fall and winter.Tasted: 18 November 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
