Big Basin 2013 Odeon Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Coast)

Country: US / Odeon
Variety: Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Big Basin / Central Coast

This bottling blends Syrah and Viognier from Chalone’s Brosseau Vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Clara’s Betchart Vineyard to deliver a dense, lavish core of blueberry and black currant fruit on the nose with hints of milk chocolate and mint. Thick tannins coat the palate, releasing more of that inky fruit along with peppery spice and lilac florality.
