title: Jekel 1999 Winemaker's Collection Syrah (Monterey)
description: There are earthy, coffee and berry aromas, and generic berry flavors. The wine is extremely dry, although a bit soft. It's not identifiably Syrah. It could be anything. The winemaker added some Riesling to lift it up. The finish is austere and alcoholic.  —S.H.
