title: Tolosa 2011 1772 Syrah (Edna Valley)
description: This cool-climate wine conveys a super-strong sense of gamy meat, like just-roasted lamb with mint jelly, along with boysenberry, bacon fat, Sichuan pepper and, with patience, prettier violet aromas too. The palate, which walks the balance beam between tannins and acidity, shows bloody meats along with black pepper, boysenberry and earth.
variety: Syrah
