Cave de Tain Syrah

A really good $10 syrah that admirably clocks in at 12% abv. It's varietally correct syrah with aromas of bramble, stems, black pepper, green bell pepper, violets, and blackberries. Lovely acidity and spice on the palate, medium bodied with plenty of ripe black fruit, and a clean rocky finish. It's not complex, but it is very satisfying.
