Doukénie 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Virginia)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Virginia
Winery: Doukénie / Virginia

A note of cracked pepper—a defining characteristic of Syrah—is the first note to hit, followed by scents of tobacco and blackberry liqueur. The palate tastes tart and acetic, showing a prominent balsamic tone. Drinking this with food might tame the acids a bit.
