Larner 2009 Reserve Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Larner / Santa Ynez Valley

Alcohol and superripe fruit give this wine a Port-like taste, although it’s totally dry. Bold tannins give it a tough astringency, and blackberry and currant flavors finish with hints of raisin and bitterness.
