Ruby lightly turbid with oranging edges.
Bramble and garrigue on nose.
Lush start with tangy acid and stem tannin velvet grip on finish.
The grip should silk out over the next few years. — 5 months ago
A fun lil’ Pinot blend from a serious producer. Picked up from Negociant in Portland. Good stuff. — 9 months ago
Very nice desert wine with a crème brûlée at The Ocean Room. Slightly sweet, but dry. Enjoyable. — 10 months ago
Revisiting this first release of Fenaughty Vineyard Syrah 2 years later and I really like where it’s headed. Less fresh and crunchy and more resolved and elegant, showing its depth and layers. fleshy black cherry, strawberry, pastille, dried herbs, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, incense and a granitic note. Reminiscent of Cru Beaujolais more than northern Rhone. 12.6% abv. An intriguing alpine California Syrah and an ideal pairing with rustic Berkeley-bought, French-inspired fare. — 2 years ago
