Calcareous 2013 Moose Syrah-Petit Verdot (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Moose
Variety: Syrah-Petit Verdot California
Winery: Calcareous / Paso Robles

This wine begins a bit wound-up and restrained on the nose, but then reveals waves of cassis, blackcurrant, elderberry and caramelized beef tips. The flavors are woven together perfectly, showing deep blueberry syrup, dark-chocolate chips, brighter plums, lovely lilacs and a touch of tar. It’s deep, dark and complex.
