Broc Cellars Cuvée 11.9 2014

Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey County, Central Coast, California, United StatesIn pursuit of balance. This lean, finely structured syrah is 11.9 percent alcohol, hence the name. From high altitude vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, this is an early picked, partial carbonic, light red. Opening with a slight reductive note before alluring herbal violet, raspberry, blue plum and fine herbal spicing. Savoury through the finish; chill slightly and serve up with charcuterie.Tasted: 14 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
