Waxwing 2010 Syrah (Sonoma County)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Waxwing / Sonoma County

The aromas of black pepper and grilled meat immediately pinpoints this as a cool-climate Syrah, and quite a good one. It’s dry, rich and smoothly tannic, with blackberry, blueberry, bacon and smoky cedar flavors. While it’s asy to drink now, this should hold over the next six years.
