Wellington Vineyards Syrah Alegria Vineyard Russian River Valley

($18) Blueberry and wood nose along with some bacon fat and black pepper. Medium bodied palate that could use more fruit concentration. The finish is a bit metallic and diluted. Good/OK, seems more Rhone-like than some California Syrahs

($18) September 1999 Wine Country: Smoky berries, touch of barnyard hark the grapes classical style.
