Review
When you think of the Russian River Valley, often Pinot Noir comes to mind. And Chardonnay as well. You may not think of Syrah — or late harvest Syrah, at that. Neither did we! And we’re so glad we do now! This American dessert wine has all the balance of a red blend. There’s a slight peppery note on the nose, with nice texture from the tannins (another pleasant surprise). It’s not cloying and has just the right amount of acidity. Even though it’s a sweet wine, the character of Syrah comes through. If you drink port you’ll love this.
