This wine was absolutely delicious! Dark red in color, with lots of fruit flavors and a little spice for some kick. The tannins are soft so it drinks smooth. We had this one in a restaurant, but will be searching for it at the store. Price point should be around 22 dollars and that's a bargain. I highly recommend picking this one up if you see it. Went really well with our Duck and Salmon, but it should pair with most hearty meals.
Tasting Notes
2009 Stolpman Vineyards Syrah Estate Grown Santa Ynez Valley
"The 2009 Syrah is a powerful wine endowed with considerable depth. Black fruit, licorice, leather and tar are some of the notes that wrap around the palate in this intense, muscular Syrah. Sweet floral notes add lift and a measure of balance on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022."
92 points -- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
