Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Roche / Carneros
It’s pretty chilly at Roche’s Carneros vineyard, and this wine is not one of those superripe Syrahs. It shows a nice array of cherries and berries, but is also very peppery, with a fine note of grilled, charred beef on the bone. It’s a complex, pleasing wine for drinking now with upscale fare.
