Cass 2013 Backbone Syrah (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Backbone
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Cass / Paso Robles

A dried herb kick is the hallmark of wines made by this producer, and this bottling may wear that note best, its fresh-pressed blackberry aromas accented with thyme and oregano. The palate blends those savory tones with light purple fruit and caramel and coffee touches, finishing on peppery spice.
