- Drew - 10-17-2004 Ok, someone's playing a trick on Drew. This is a nice Pinot Noir and not a Syrah. Raspberry, tea, cola, forest floor and earthy notes. Medium bodied with well integrated tannins. Nothing like a syrah...no resemblance a 'tall. Even Eileen agreed. If served blind I would have bet 2 of WW's pay checks that it was Pinot. A nice, albeit confusing, wine. 13.6 %Alc/vol. $13. Here's what the winery has to say about the wine. Drew Vineyard Sources: 36 % Rodney's (Santa Ynez Valley), 31% Meeker (Paso Robles), 18% French Camp (Paso Robles) & 15% Wild Rose (Lodi). Barrel Aging: 100% Barrel aged for 7 months Alcohol: 13.6%, T.A.: 0.532 g/100ml, p.H.: 3.81 Bottling Date: June 18-21, 2001 Case Production: 6838 Completed cases Composition: 78% Syrah, 12% Grenache & 10% Carignane. Winemaker's Comments: A Syrah with a nicely focused core of dark, rich blueberry, cherry and plum fruits and moderate tannins. These elements are complemented by sweet spices, mint, smoke, meat and earthy notes. |
