Cosentino Winery Syrah Crystal Valley Cellars

Somewhat unrefined feel with moderate amounts of particulate matter. A strong Syrah, that could have used a little more time to breathe than we have it.

Mitch Cosentino re-established this winery in 2001, making wines outside of Napa. Ruby color, with juicy red fruit notes and a hint of caramel. Nice acidity, with bright cherry and raspberry flavors, picking up some pepper tones on the finish.
