DOMAINE ALFRED SYRAH - 2001

California Central Coast Syrah with 15% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Deep purple color with black currant, black fruit and huge black pepper on aromas. Flavors of black currant, plum, cloves, baking spices, tart berries and a big tannic finish. Balanced, smooth, good body and lots of finesse. Built like a Cotes du Rhone.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

90+ PTS

A very well-made Syrah. Great length and style with excellent warm spice notes. Retails for around $24 . Drinking really well right now.
