Stolpman Originals Syrah Santa Ynez Valley Ca. 2008

Such an easy drinking, wonderfully approachable wine. The color and scent of blackberry juice, opaque, with the richness of blackberry jam and sweet cassis, dark fruits, cinnamon, tobo, leather, smoked meat, eucalyptus and coffee. This is such a big wine; so powerful that it claims a long future ahead of it. Smooth, rich and balanced. 14.9% alc. With assorted blues, manchego cheeses and crusty bread and black olives. 03.24.17. Highly Recommended.
