Domaine de la Terre Rouge 2000 Ascent Syrah (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / Ascent
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Domaine de la Terre Rouge / Sierra Foothills

Only eight barrels of this totally wonderful stuff were produced. This young, immature Syrah is massive and splendid. Huge in fruit, pepper, smoke, and earthy flavors, swaddled in rich tannins and smart oak. Great now, but will improve over the next 4 years.
