| 2006 Carlisle Syrah Sonoma County Sonoma County, California WB Rating: 89 Alcohol by volume: 15.1% Price at time of purchase: $19.99 (Bottle Barn, Santa Rosa CA) Type: Syrah Principal varietal(s): Syrah Corpulent Syrah overflowing with ripe blueberry and black cherry fruit, cassis liqueur, smoky oak, roasted meat, and an undercurrent of Dr. Pepper spiciness. At this age, the tannins have melted away and the wine is silky smooth and extremely easy going down. Balanced in the mouth despite the high alcohol. Amazingly good "entry-level" Syrah from Carlisle. - HK 2013-02-20 [Back] |
