Red Car 2011 Vivio Vineyard Syrah (Bennett Valley)

Country: US / Vivio Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Red Car / Bennett Valley

Black and white pepper pop from the glass in this cool-climate, cool-vintage wine that retains just enough power around lacy acidity. A bouquet of violets rises on the nose before the palate offers spicy, lean bursts of meat, leather and black licorice. Made in small amounts, this wine is well worth seeking.
