title: MacLaren 2010 Samantha's Vineyard Syrah (Russian River Valley)
description: This bone-dry, full-bodied Syrah has firm tannins and intense concentration. It's a little warm in alcohol, with flavors of dark chocolate, blackberry jam, cassis liqueur, grilled bacon and black pepper, plus a coating of sweet, smoky oak. You might want to give this wine a year or so in the cellar to let everything meld together.
variety: Syrah
designation: Samantha's Vineyard
