title: Sonoma Coast Vineyards 2007 Occidental Road Vineyard Syrah (Sonoma Coast)
description: Lots of complex flavors in this bone-dry wine, and they range well beyond berry-cherry fruit into more interesting realms of leather, coffee, unsweetened cocoa, bacon, pepper spice and minerals. The wine shows a brisk acidity, and the tannins are intricate. Feels a bit austere and aloof now, withholding its best. Should offer more in 3-5 years, but not much beyond that before the fruit collapses.
variety: Syrah
designation: Occidental Road Vineyard
