點擊次數(shù)：3515

The 2006 Syrah contains 4% Viognier, was sourced from a vineyard yielding a meager one ton of fruit per acre, and was aged for 18 months in French barriques, 25% new. It exhibits a complex aromatic array of mineral, violets, smoked meat, game, and blueberry reminiscent of a high-level Cote-Rotie. This leads to a dense, structured, flavorful, savory wine with several years of aging potential and a pure finish. Drink it from 2011 to 2021.Russell Bourne, Battely’s owner/winemaker, uses the northern Rhone Valley as his role-model, hence the use of the name Syrah rather than Shiraz.Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel.
