2014 Carlisle Sierra Mar Vineyard Syrah, Santa Lucia Highlands, USA (750ml)

TASTING NOTES:

Though from a cool region, this is a more powerful style of Syrah, showing elegant fudge and caramel notes as well as blackberries, blueberries, espresso cream and strong cola aromas. Tangy black currant and baked black-cherry fruit pop on the palate, along with tobacco, smoked beef and baking spice.
