Robert Hall 2012 Syrah (Paso Robles)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Robert Hall / Paso Robles

Strong aromas of blackberry extract, cedar, nose-tickling herbs and a bit of bacon fat mark the nose of this release from a winery whose 84-year-old namesake died in October 2014. The flavors balance tartness with ripe berries, roasted fennel, emergent tannins and purple flowers that linger into the finish.
