Tasting - Los Alisos Syrah


Name: Los Alisos
Variety: Syrah
Region: Santa Barbara, California
Country: USA
Year: 2007
Price: $7.95 (originally $23)

Los Alamos Valley is generating great interest among winemakers and wine critics for the quality and character of its Syrah. The region has a flair for producing wines with the peppery aromatics of a cold climate, and yet displays the rich intensity of warmer locales. Our Syrah is dark, dense and sinfully opulent with ripe scents of blueberries, white pepper and earth.

This deep red wine had strong dark berry aromas with a tinge of bitterness and an earthy feeling. It was tart to taste and stuck to my tongue. It had a sweet yet bitter aftertaste.
