Rulo 2006 Syrca Red Wine Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Syrca Red Wine
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Rulo / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

This 70% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon blend is tight, spicy, peppery and sharp. Though probably not a wine for cellaring, despite its slightly green fruit, it has density, flavor and depth. As it breathes and smoothes out, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors begin to poke through, and a streak of licorice does also.
