Trust Cellars Syrah 05
$26.95 - Case price (any 12 or more bottles) Price: $29.95 Trust Cellars Syrah 05: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Complex scents of black cherry, cassis, cola, sasparilla, and hints of a foiral component, possibly derived from a bit of Viognier in the blend. Flavors are perceived through a rich, viscous mouthfeel. The wine is huge, with lots of body- black fruit is joined by floral, spice, licorice notes. Despite its biggness, the wine finishes with a very refreshing sense and a lively acidity. - jean Winemaker Steve Brooks says: "All the lots that went into the 2005 Syrah were punched down by hand during fermentation. They all went to dryness on the skins and then were pressed to tank and allowed to settle overnight before barreling down. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrel. Most of the wine was aged in older barrels with only 12.5% of the blend being aged in new French oak. There is also a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignon (12.5%) in the blend, which adds a velvety mouth-feel to the finished wine. Dried black cherry, espresso and vanilla on the nose."
