| 2005 Lynmar Syrah Sonoma Coast, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 13.7% Price at time of purchase: $36.00 (Winery) Type: Syrah Principal varietal(s): Syrah Excellent, complex, perfumed nose displays pronounced smokiness - almost like tobacco - along with earthy dark currant and dark berry fruit. A serious dose of sweet herbs and spices, as well as violets, complement the fruit. Flavorful and satisfying, though taut and focused rather than flamboyant; extremely French-like in feel. It was very tight when young, but has developed beautifully in the last two years and should hold for a few more. - HK 2011-06-28 [Back] |
