Red Car Syrah Cuvée 22

Syrah needs at least a decade. This wine is still testing great !! Minor saturation on the near perfect cork after over a decade and a half in the bottle, easily removed. Consumed over two days. Perfectly aged. soft, integrated. and balanced wine. Dark ruby red color with little to no oxidation, aromas of cherry, mature flavors of black cherry and leather, with a pleasantly long to medium finish of soft red raspberry compote.

drinking pretty nicely. still fruit and pretty balanced.

Not a fan

Went well with spare ribs. Typical full bodied syrah.

Nice syrah Characteristics

Very enjoyable bottle, tastes of dark berries. Finished well. Rather soft syrah. Agree with other reviewers that price should be around $25 to buy more.

Agree with earlier posts. Lots of red fruit and some oak on the palate. Not overly exciting at this price:(

My second bottle of this vintage and I thought some time would help. Not true. A nice syrah but not worth the hefty price. Nice fruit, medium body, very little spice. Almost a sweet note to it. Not enough going on here for me to recommend. If price was 20-25 I'd drink this more often but not at $45.

Had heard good things about Red Car syrahs. A little disappointing to me but maybe I was expecting too much. Still have another bottle and hopefully we'll enjoy it more.

Impressions were essentially as on 7/28/2009. I couldn't discern much difference from what I experienced a year ago other than it may be a little softer now.

Deep dark red. Some wood and game on the nose. Lots of dark fruit smells and flavors, very "rich" with a slightly sweet edge and a medium long finish. Very enjoyable but lacking in complexity to make it into the 90's. I could drink a lot of this often if it were a lot cheaper.
