2009 Mandolin Syrah Cental Coast
September 17, 2011
What I like about wines like this is the amount of value you get in the bottle. Here is a 100% Syrah that has wonderful familiary Syrah aromas of blackberries, pepper and vanilla. The flavors are the same with additions of nutmeg, light toast a kiss of cinnamon. The wine finishes very smooth and is a perfect pairing for hearty chili or barbeque.
