title: Zepaltas 2006 Rosella's Vineyard Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: An interesting, even eccentric Syrah that's really quite different from anything else out there. No mere fruit bomb, it's a meaty wine, in the sense of being chewy, but also in the aromas and flavors of both roasted and raw beef. That's not to mention the extraordinary blackberries and currants, dusted with a blast of freshly ground black pepper. First-class and unique.
variety: Syrah
designation: Rosella's Vineyard
