Abacela 1999 Syrah (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah Oregon
Winery: Abacela / Umpqua Valley

Intense, spicy and richly fruity nose. Already meaty, bloody and gamy; this really hits the mark for this variety. Good acids, weight and balance. It’s a very sexy wine, with a long, concentrated finish that shows extracted berry fruit and layers of mineral and earth, with just the barest hint of roasted barrel.
