| 2003 Old World Winery Syrah "Rockin' R Ranch" Mendocino, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 14.1% Price at time of purchase: $23.00 (from Winery) Type: Syrah Principal varietal(s): Syrah A terrific debut Syrah from winemaker Darek Trowbridge. Similar in style to a fleshy Australian Shiraz, this wine provides ripe, chewy dark raspberry and blueberry fruit, lots of spicy sweet oak, and a classic roasted-meat like character underneath. Forward fruit aromas, impeccable balance, and seamless mouth-feel, with some muscular tannin in the finish that suggests further development. Fairly priced for the quality. - WB team 2006-03-11 [Back] |
