Dobbes, Grand Assemblage Syrah, Rogue Valley

From the winery: Our Grand Assemblage Pinot Noir, a multi-vineyard blend, is a vintage snapshot that weaves the specificity and temperament of each site into a cohesive tapestry of flavors. Dark, ripe fruited aromas of dark cherry and marionberry are highlighted with complex accents of cranberry, cola, vanilla, sandalwood and violet. The combination of 14 months in barrel, 26% new oak and 18% whole cluster has rounded out the structured tannins and added cedar and spice notes that integrate well …

Still drinking well with forest floor, mulberries, spices, cedar and dust. Medium to long finish and nice acidity. A great food friendly wine and balanced.

Really enjoyed this full-bodied Syrah from Dobbes. Great nose and mouth of dark berries with great spice notes. It paired nicely with our holiday brisket dinner. This wine cellared beautifully and was a great value.

Sweet fruits featuring blackberries, Bing cherries and mulberries. Good acidity and a balanced effort. Nice to find a great wine outside of Willamette Valley.

Medium purple. Nose smoke, cedar, black pepper, and blackberries. On the palate great acidity along with smoke, cedar chips, spices, floral, blackberries and raspberries. Medium finish and good overall structure. This is a really nice Syrah from the Rogue Valley and at $15 a bottle I am buying a case!
