Bernat 2010 Intrigue Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Intrigue
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Bernat / Santa Ynez Valley

Concentrated lilac and violet flowers paint a pretty picture to the beef char and creosote darkness on the nose of this bottling from a Los Olives vineyard. The palate blends boysenberry, blackberry, coffee and bittersweet dark chocolate, loaded atop a very firm structure.
