Baker Lane

Sonoma Coast Cuvée Syrah 2011

Perfect El Niño wine! I just found a bunch of this here in LA for $11/bottle in LA. I bought a bunch. My rating is definitely influenced by the price.

Back east everyone has a supply of "blizzard wine", this is as close as we get in Los Angeles.
A giant inexpensive California Syrah that's full-bodied, balanced, and loaded with smokey peppered black fruit and violets. If you can't find this one, there's plenty more California Syrahs like this. Just get a big one and don't pay more than $15. Let it rain!

A soft, gentle, elegant wine. Tannins arch palette forward, with a bit of a long tail, but are never bitting. Slight earthy mushroom funk and cassis. This isn't a wine for a heavy meal or a blizzard - light fall air is where she shines. — 10 years ago
