Weisinger 2012 Meadowlark Vineyard Syrah (Rogue Valley)

Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Weisinger / Meadowlark Vineyard

Like its companion Syrah from Cedar Ridge Vineyard fruit, this is pure varietal and spent 18 months in American oak. Earthy and somewhat bitter flavors of charred wood and espresso dominate the cassis fruit. The finish is chalky and tannic.
