Heintz 2012 Syrah (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Heintz / Sonoma Coast

From the Heintz Vineyard, well-known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, comes this compelling Syrah. A burst of toasted oak and dry tannins upon entry develops slowly into a taste of ripe, black fruit, black olives and tar. Surrounded by a soft palate the wine is also marked by a starkness of black pepper and hint of lavender.
