2012 Vallin Syrah Santa Ynez Valley by Lieu Dit Winery

This is made by one of the stars of the movie Somm, a very savory style with 13.2% alcohol there is a good hand of wintergreen and peppery spice to the red plum and red berry fruit with a hint of smoke and herbs on the nose. A nice plushness on the tongue, silky smooth with a nice amount of berry and plum fruit, those herbs and spice from the nose showing through the finish, very savory, fine tannins. finish 40+ Excellent
