One of California’s leaders in making cool-climate, Rhone-style, food-friendly, “snappy” Syrahs produced another gem in 2013. Fruit comes from four vineyards (three in Sonoma plus “Alder Springs” in Northern Mendocino). You'll smell and taste blueberries, ripe cranberries, plum sauce, thyme, tarragon, and peppercorns. It has bright acidity yet steers away from tartness. Perfect for your next roast pork loin dinner!
