title: Monte De Oro 2011 Vista Del Monte Vineyard Syrah (Temecula Valley)
description: Black cherries, hot licorice, ollallieberry meringue and smoked meats form a powerful and decadent nose on this rich wine. The palate is also vividly flavorful and dynamically changing, which is a welcome effect of high-alcohol wines, showing boysenberry, black pepper and sagebrush before diving even deeper into pipe tobacco and elderberry jam.
variety: Syrah
