title: Monte De Oro 2011 Vista del Monte Vineyard Reserve Syrah (Temecula Valley)
description: Scents of stewed blueberry and black cherry devolve into prunes and raisins on the nose of this bottling, but the dried ginger and dark spice elements add complexity. It's dense on the palate, with strong acidity cutting the meaty quality of the midpalate, with pruney flavors throughout.
variety: Syrah
designation: Vista del Monte Vineyard Reserve
