Country: US / High Slopes
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Terre Rouge / Sierra Foothills
High Slopes begins tannic and tight but settles down into a finely honed Syrah of notable structure, layered in pepper, smoke and tart blackberry flavor. It will pair deliciously with savory dishes along the lines of cassoulet or roast game and cellar another 5–10 years.
