TN: 2017 Whipsmart Wine Company Syrah Near to the Wild Heart Windsor Oaks Vineyard

Saw a note about their Zin and gave a mixed 6er of the Syrah ($18) and Zin a flier. Judging by tonight’s pnp it was a brilliant decision. Modern for sure, but seamless and delicious on pnp. It’s not oaky, nor heavy-handed - just delicious. Would pair well with a pork tenderloin or filet mignon - also great on its own.

nice, thanks for the note! I was similarly intrigued, but I’ve only gone for the Zin (so far), sounds like I need to expand things!

The Syrah is a no brainer. Do it.

Just worked my way through the syrah, zin and white blend after reading about them here. All outstanding. The zin greatly benefited from some air and probably would reward a little time sideways. The syrah was really good from the pop of the cork.
