2007 Drew Family Syrah Perli Vineyard Potato Patch

Good ruby-red. Pepper, chocolate and menthol on the nose, plus a whiff of medicinal cherry. Broad, rich and tactile, with good sweetness but also a savory saline quality to the currant and pepper flavors. The lushest of these three syrahs. Finishes with smooth, sweet tannins and good peppery lift and length. These soil-driven syrahs are not about primary fruit or high alcohol and come across as distinctly Old World in style.
