Underground Wine Project Syrah Idle Hands

Yummy

Color: deep red almost purple Nose: purple things - plum, cherry with wet stone Taste: black cherry, plum, cigar box, anise and vanilla Love the Undergound Wine Project blends - lots of fruit upfront, very juicy with nice secondary notes of anise, cedar and vanilla to keep the wine in check. Fairly balanced with a soft round finish that lingers for a bit. Easy to drink, great with BBQ.

Young still. Should sit and mellow for a couple more years

Pnp. Very fruit forward and sappy. On the sweet side with no noticable structure, still pretty enjoyable.

I was concerned about the VA warning below, but glad that my bottle showed well. Loads of plum and blackberry on the nose and palate, with smoke and vanilla notes emerging. Very ripe, and fairly simple.

I'm going to guess this was attacked somewhere along the way, or bottled maybe, with a touch of VA. It was all wrong, and balsamic tasting if anything. I have another bottle, my first time trying these wines - hoping they're okay, and not all "ick".
