Cycles Gladiator Syrah 2005
Central Coast, California, United StatesFinally a California wine that seems to be passing on the benefits of a stronger Canadian dollar. The Cycles Gladiator is a well-priced Central Coast red sourced from cool Monterey and warm Paso Robles fruit. The combination of plums and white pepper with blueberries and French oak make this a winning combination. Soft sensuous ripe and mouth filling most consumes will love this style. Will easily match a variety of fall game dishes but it's so soft and supple you could sip it solo if you had to. Great by-the-glass candidate.
