Cairdean Estate 2011 Syrah (Atlas Peak)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Cairdean Estate / Atlas Peak

A majority varietal, this wine also contains Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, combining for a taste of baked blackberry and licorice, the oak subtle in smoke. With a tannic bite on the midpalate, it resolves into smoother, velvety textures on the finish, inviting one in for another try.
