2006 DuMOL Syrah Eddie’s Patch (USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley)

Deeply extracted color of India ink and purple.Rare beef and bramble-berry notes begin the journey which leads to mid palate flavors of Asian spice and blackberry. The tannins are fine grained and linger on the mid length finish. Not quite as fruit forward as one would expect from this producer but still outstanding nonetheless.
