title: Baker & Brain 2012 Le Mistral Syrah (Monterey County)
description: Violets, blackberries and espresso beans whirl together into a delicious, silky nose on this wine by Josh Baker and Matt Brain. It's similarly luxurious on the palate, soft and sensual with lots of boysenberry and olallieberry. It also shows a peppery licorice spice, boosted by focused acidity that enlivens every part of the tongue.
variety: Syrah
designation: Le Mistral
