Wine Review: Kenny’s Syrah is a dead ringer for
some of the great Syrahs that come out of Northern France, but his is created
in the California backyard of Mendocino. The elements of elevation, rugged
terrain, and coastal fog that define the Santa Cruz Mountains helps Kenny
create a Syrah that is all about purity and finesse rather than outright power.
With bright, pickled berry flavors it’s a
fine example of the beautiful subtle nuances that result from the attention to
detail and thoughtfulness required for all-natural winemaking.
My Review: Earthy, very earthy! Smoky smell and taste. High
levels of tannins. Longer finish since it has a fuller body. Not my favorite
red, but one of the first Syrah’s I’ve tried, definitely want to try more Syrahs!
Smell is a little acidic, but you can also smell the fruits.
Extra Notes: Got this from ClubW.com! Figured I would give wine delivery a shot! This is the second wine I've gotten from them and I think it's a cool service!
