Novy 2008 Rosella’s Vineyard Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Rosella’s Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Novy / Santa Lucia Highlands

Syrah master Novy has given us a beautiful Syrah to drink now with rich lamb, beef and pork dishes, or perhaps a Latin-inspired black bean soup. It’s rich, softly lush and dry, and the blackberry, currant, mocha and sandalwood flavors have exciting edges of salty cured meats and freshly crushed black pepper. Really exquisite, but only 263 cases were produced.
