Donelan 2008 Kobler Family Vineyard Syrah (Green Valley)

Country: US / Kobler Family Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Donelan / Green Valley

A tough, tannic young wine that will benefit from two or three years in the bottle, but probably no more. It’s bone dry and astringent now, with an intense core of blackberries, grilled meat and black pepper. Give it a few hours in a decanter before pouring.
