Damian Rae 2005 White Hawk Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / White Hawk
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Damian Rae / Santa Barbara County

Dry enough, but the fruit has a baked, raisiny taste, suggesting that some of the grapes got by the sorting table in a shriveled condition. The finish is tannic and rich in blackberries and spices, but the wine is not an ager.
