Terre Rouge 2013 Monarch Mine Vineyard Syrah (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Terre Rouge / Monarch Mine Vineyard

Classic flavors, great structure and impressive depth make this wine tempting to drink now, but it will certainly improve with age. Hints of light nutmeg and coriander mingle with stronger blackberry and black pepper in the aromas and flavors. It has that slightly wild, gamey character of the Rhône, along with ripe but slightly restrained fruit and spices. Best from 2018 to 2023.
