title: Pessagno 2009 Manzoni Estate Vineyard Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: What a nice Syrah for drinking now. It shows that firm structure of Highlands reds, with fine acidity and dusty tannins, and is rich in blackberry, currant, licorice, bacon, black pepper and cedar flavors. Too bad more Syrahs aren't this good.
variety: Syrah
designation: Manzoni Estate Vineyard
