Privé Vineyard Syrah

Zero notes. This came together and turned out to be a nice wine although not as complex as I would have hoped but still very enjoyable.

This wine is a hot mess...alcohol heat, over-oaked, disjointed & really off flavors, just no fun to drink at all. Dumped this down the drain after 1 glass. This either needs a LOT more time to come together, or it's just a horrible wine. Not touching my remaining bottle for another 4-5 years.

Quite simple. Enough said.

Willamette Valley for Memorial day weekend and a peak at 2012; 5/25/2013-5/26/2013 : Barrel sample. Slightly better than the 2011, offering some nice softer fruit aromas, but still this was an impenetrable wall of syrup and alcohol throughout. I don't know why people drink wine like this. There is nothing interesting about it. You can get wine that tastes like this for $7.
