2021 Morgan Winery G 17 Syrah Santa Lucia Highlands, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

This Rhone-style blend has a garnet color highlighted with purple edges. Aromas of brambly black fruit, raspberry hard candy, and hints of savory spice jump out of the glass. The wine is medium-plus bodied with crisp acidity, offering flavors of purple fruits and smoked meat. Its weight and balance make it a perfect pairing with anything off the grill.

TASTING NOTES:

This is a fresh, fun and yet still elegant Syrah that’s quite affordable. Aromas of black raspberry and light purple flowers show on the nose of this wine that includes 8% Mourvèdre and 6% Grenache. The palate packs in dark strawberry, raspberry, rose and violet flavors into a seamless package.
