This wine was one of the ones that I bought at The Grocery Outlet
The presentation was OK. It comes in a Rhône shaped bottle of a sick light green colour.
The foil capsule enclosed an artificial cork.
The wine was a rich dried blood colour that smelled - well like wine. After a swirl some fruit came out - apricots perhaps. It tasted rich and sweet.
I thought it was great. reminiscent of what Rosenblum would make. SGK wanted it to open up more, and liked it better through the Vinturi
Some legs finally showed up at the end of the first glass, and then some more classic Syrah aromas emerged: Smoke and rubber yet full of fruit. There was some burn at the finish.
I found it yummy and great. Too bad the winery does not seem to be making it any more.

Yummy. I am planning on another case.| Style: | Rhône |
