W. T. Vintners Syrah Grande Côte Vineyard

P&P; consistent with prior note. This is drinking quite well, right from the pop!

While the previous note is concerning, this bottle showed well. Very Southern Rhone-ish Syrah, black raspberry and garrigue, with subtle floral aromas. Has a warmer climate fruit expression, yet has fresh acidity, chewy tannic structure and sanguine minerality. Silky mid-palate, almost delicate, typical of this producer.

Drink with a decant and food or hold for 5-7 years.

90 min decant prior to first tasting. Flavors of blackberry, pepper, tobacco, oak barrel and vanilla, with sharp acidity and chalky tannins on the finish. This held up well over 3 days and was actually most enjoyable on day 3 when the acid and tannin had integrated with the fruit.

Pretty rough mid to end, bitting with a short tannic finish. Pass.

Dark fruit, earth and olive brine on the nose. Black & blue fruits, medium to high acid and medium tannins. Very nice WA Syrah and easy on the wallet.

The body is medium to full with some chalky tannins that hit front of palate. I thought there was a pleasant complexity with …
