Wine: ARIL 2012 Atlas Peak, Napa Valley Syrah

Syrah is a dark-skinned red grape wine that is rich and intense. Pairs well with red & white meat, poultry, lamb and hard cheeses.

Generous and complex aromas of blueberry fruit tinged with violets, bramble, and espresso bean.  While muscular with ample weight and endurance. Then revealing broad Cabernet-like mouthcoating fruit redolent of juicy mountain blueberry, black cherry. Finally underscored by a roasted espresso note leading to a lengthy finish balanced by zippy, mouthwatering acidity and lingering generous dark-berried fruit notes. A voluptuous, crowd-pleaser that won’t last long in your decanter and calls for a marbled porterhouse or T-bone.
