DENNER SYRAH - 2009

From Paso Robles, CA. 15.3% alcohol.


TASTING NOTES:


Bold brier red and black fruits on the nose.  Concentrated with blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, mocha, licorice, baking spices, blueberry. Very complex with saturated flavors and color.


SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:


92 PTS
Chewy tannins with alluring aromas and flavors make this wine a semi-blockbuster. The alcohol is not fully integrated. It is perhaps too soon to tell, but I'm not sure if time in the bottle will cure this wine of its one flaw. Retails for around $40.
