Mendocino Farms Syrah Fairbairn Ranch 2005

Mendocino County, California, United StatesVery spicy, green tobacco leaf, herbal, sour cherry, vanilla - very cool style. Dry, tight, round, elegant palate with light tannins. Cedar bark, tobacco, vanilla, coffee, peppery, cherry, herbal, garrigue flavours. Fresh finish with light tannins to shed - very French in style but has a dominant streak of cedar. Perhaps needs a year or more in bottle.Tasted: 28 December 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
