description: Most of the Toso wines are screaming successes, but this Syrah is mostly an amalgamation of extract and lots of oak. The wine smells like blackberry syrup caked with mocha, while the flavors and feel are limited except for the barrel notes. As Syrah goes, this doesn't deliver much finesse; just weight and wood.
variety: Syrah
designation: Alta Reserve Las Barrancas Vineyard
