2001 Rocca Napa Syrah

[oostexan]

Recommended by my local wine guy (Tim). I am very fortunate to have a great local wine shop (Far Point Cellars) that has an employee that understands my palate, takes the time to work very diligently with me, and typically recommends wine that is spot on. Yes, he is consequently rewarded.

Anyhoo - dark aroma of blueberry, blackberry, and dark fruit with a touch of that sweet Napa fruit. Palate has a concentrated Syrah profile with plum, blackberries, and a touch of spice. Alc is 14.5 and integrates wonderfully. Very Napa. Not crazy. Well integrated and lush.

I paid around 35 bucks.
