Our 2007 Golden Bear Syrah is a cool climate Syrah which is more food friendly. Earthy with a pepper finish, this wine begs to be paired with big meals. The fruit is harvested in the Santa Maria Valley in Santa Barbara County.
Tasting Notes
Color Inky, dark plum.
Nose Bright, pleasant, light plum and vanilla with a trace of black pepper.
Taste Bright, fruity entry which mellows into a round balanced wine which fills the mouth with a meaty texture. Soft, yet bold with a fairly long finish.
General Not an aperitif! A serious wine meant to accompany food – especially game, spicy and smoked or acidic dishes.
