2008 Donkey & Goat Syrah Fenaughty Vineyard

Inky ruby. Complex nose combines red and dark berries, potpourri and underbrush, along with nuances of anise and black olive. Very syrah, with intense dark berry and floral flavors that turn spicier with air. Combines the depth of New World fruit with the wilder aspects of the northern Rhone and finishes with lingering spice and herb nuances. I really like this wine's balance.
