Finger Lakes Syrah

Dark ruby red. Very bold - black raspberries and pepper. A hint of alcohol taste. Not the best finger lakes Syrah I've had but pretty good from a region that makes this grape tough to grow!

Have loved previous vintages but this one is a bit less Rhone. Vanilla-tinged Robitussin-style red cherry. More modern.

Absolutely phenomenal vintage in the FLX! I don't get any of the red cherry that other people said in their ratings. If I tasted it I would let you know how disgusted I'd be with a Robitussin red cherry aroma or flavors. I get NONE of that. Medium purple in color...gorgeous! I get dark currant and subtle pepper on the nose. Balanced, light pepper, more earth, tobacco, tar than fruit. I love it. Finish is moderate in length but has a smokey characteristic to it! Absolutely could go longer in storage but is still delicious if drinking now.

This was such a nice dry wine with great raspberry fruit flavor! Thank you Lois & Al for the gift!

Not bad for a Finger Lakes Ny red. Fuller bodied than many.

Very Rhone like. Medium body with light smoke and light spice
